can we post international succ?

quote:

No room for elitists and purists in a united opposition in 2022

To defeat President Rodrigo Duterte�s anointed one in 2022, opposition forces must leave their ivory towers.

That line alone will certainly raise not a few eyebrows among those who identify themselves as part of the dissenting voices against Duterte. But this is the reality that the newly-formed 1Sambayan coalition must grapple with if they are to succeed in their goal of fielding a united slate in the next presidential elections.

�We have discussed this, again and again, and this is the understanding of everybody: That unless we are united, we cannot win in 2022,� said lead convenor Antonio Carpio, retired Supreme Court associate justice, during their group�s launch on March 18.

Questions have been raised if supporters of Vice President Leni Robredo would ever settle for anything less than a presidential candidacy for her. Others refused to consider moderates like Senator Grace Poe and Manila Mayor Isko Moreno even if they are on the list of the 1Sambayan convenors.

Never mind the President�s own supporters belittling 1Sambayan; there are those within the opposition movement who say the coalition is just another political farce by the same old elites.

But for political science professor Carmel Abao of the Ateneo de Manila University, insisting on ideologies would only lead to 1Sambayan�s downfall. To win, the convenors � and their supporters, most specially � must be tactical, ready to make sacrifices for the sake of the greater good.

�You insist on ideology alone, you�re not really going to unify, so I think people shouldn�t be looking for ideological allies,� Abao told Rappler. �They should be looking for tactical allies. All I�m saying is that, those in that room need more allies. It cannot be just them.�

Before facing the well-oiled machinery of the Duterte administration�s bet in 2022, the 1Sambayan coalition must first overcome the faults of its own people.

For now, what binds 1Sambayan�s convenors together is their collective rejection of the abuses of the Duterte regime � from extrajudicial killings in the bloody drug war to the President selling out to China.

Good governance and competence were the buzzwords during 1Sambayan�s launch. The plan is to select the final slate by subjecting potential bets to a vetting process, where they would be screened based on their track record, �upright� stand on key issues, platforms, and winnability.

The danger here, argued governance expert Michael Yusingco from the Ateneo School of Government, is 1Sambayan getting stuck in the anti-Duterte narrative. They could end up failing to articulate the specific programs they can offer to the people � much like what happened to the LP-led Otso Diretso slate in 2019.

�That�s actually one of the problems of Otso Diretso � their grandstanding [overshadowed] their platform� So this is exactly what the 1Sambayan should avoid,� said Yusingco

The Otso Diretso bets focused on attacking Duterte, instead of presenting themselves as the better alternative to the senatorial candidates whom the President was endorsing. They even resorted to a publicity stunt with a jet ski and a boat docked at a pier to showcase their intent to protect the West Philippine Sea from the Chinese military.

There�s much to be disgruntled about with Duterte, the misogynist president whose government could not stop the coronavirus infection of hundreds of thousands of Filipinos. Yet Duterte remains popular among ordinary Filipinos, who remain averse to confrontational politics and prioritize livelihood and survival over everything else.

So what can 1Sambayan do? Stick to a clear post-pandemic plan, suggested Yusingco, because the Duterte administration has clearly failed to address the COVID-19 crisis.

Escaping the trap of the anti-Duterte narrative also means hinging the platform not just on competence, but seeking accountability from officials who fail to be competent.

It is also quite clear that the 1Sambayan coalition is glued together by the convenors� deep respect for the triumvirate that is Carpio, former ombudsman Conchita Carpio Morales, and ex-foreign secretary Albert del Rosario.

Other convenors include La Sallian Brother Armin Luistro, retired rear admiral Rommel Jude Ong, lawyer Howie Calleja, former Negros Occidental governor Lito Coscolluela, former Commission on Audit commissioner Heidi Mendoza, Partido Manggagawa chair Renato Magtubo, and Ricky Xavier of the People�s Choice Movement.

But it has to be said: a mother struggling to feed her children in the slums of Tondo will not be able to relate with the legal luminaries in 1Sambayan. Would she care about the Chinese military ships on Philippine territory if she can�t even buy a kilo of rice for her children?

In 2022, the opposition can no longer afford to be elitist and out of touch with reality.

Yes, people are more than "unhappy." Do you know how we know that? From the actual reporting that has been happening and from the immigrant advocacy organizations fighting on this issue for weeks. Not from the photos, which add nothing of substance to the conversation.

No one is saying conditions are good. No one is saying that the situation is acceptable. What I am saying is that empty quoting photos at people is not actual evidence, which we DO have and WERE discussing before these stupid photos consumed all the oxygen by completely derailing any productive conversation

Just as an example- how can you use these photos as evidence that the facilities are overcrowded? In the photo with the most transparent view of people's faces, I count 42 people. How do we know there are 400 unaccompanied male minors? Where did this claim come from? Well, we don't know. Maybe the person who sent the photos also told him that perhaps he got it directly from the Biden admin. Perhaps he got it from a Facebook group he's part of. Without any clear sourcing on the photos, he can say whatever he wants about the conditions and be seen as an authority because he "provided photos" which he did not take himself.

When you really think about it, due to quantum flux, nothing can really be stated to be objectively true or false.

Except the things I want to believe that is.

The ability to think like this basically makes me invincible. Nothing can bother me if I don't want it to. No argument is plausible unless I want it to be. I am a genius.

This is the ideal debate tactic. You may not like it but this is what peak posting performance looks like.
