It's not right living this way, not letting others know what's true and what's false.
I think the smear campaign against Corbyn blinds people to the fact that he was a mediocre politician, especially his weird, soft-handed triangulation on Brexit

Also lol, I know that investigations take time but remember the Gaetz thing? He's absolutely not going anywhere. Nothing happened, nothing likely will happen. He's stupid but everyone has learned there are no consequences to just refusing to step down.

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

uk labour deserved a worse loss than this honestly

labour leadership is going to take this all as a sign that they need to tack to the right

and never, ever realize what’s actually losing them elections

because they know that, no matter how far to the right they tack, the same dipshits will keep "holding their noses" and voting for them

when you look at the totals for this election vs the last one, the reason labour lost is obvious: it’s almost entirely due to lack of participation by labour-leaning voters

those couple places with corbyn-like candidates won big

despite this labour is clearly going to tack right more and try to bully those lefty outliers into submission so they start losing elections too

significant if their goal is to win elections, irrelevant if their goal is just to be able to put on enough of a show to convince donors to keep spending money

I don't know man, leading your party to almost win a general election despite the entirety of the state, media, and half your party being against you certainly does not seem like a mediocre politician thing to do.

that's the point though, had he made any decisive stand on Brexit it would have not only been an incredible rout for May calling the snap fuckin election, but also a genuine win and a Labour government.

I think his mistake was underestimating the malice that the party rightists had towards him. he didn't think they would go anywhere near the smear campaign they did, and he tried to reach out to them with the brexit horse poo poo in order to bring them on side. his weakness was that he was naive.
