Bahahahahahahaha, omg I needed a good laugh this evening., thanks..
Guy literally purged every halfway leftist in the fucking party, and has spent his entire time as leader, and is aiming his entire election campaign on, pleasing capitalists and maintain the status quo. The man doesn't have a left leaning bone in his spineless self serving body.
Eh, still better than the Tories. Supermajority begins the process of dragging the overton window back left, which I'm all for
Literally the opposite.
Normalising the current Labour party as anything even remotely left, which it isn't in any way shape or form, shifts the window to the right by removing actual left from the map altogether. That's the whole point of Starmer - to regain back ground for the right after what Corbyn awoke in the party and country.
We are getting a Tory whoever wins, they just wear different coloured ties.
I'm hoping that everyone to the left of Starmer makes their move post-election.
Coming at him hard and forming a new party out of purged leftists, greens and independents.
But without a labour victory today we'll be voting against fascism next time. The Tories just did such a good job of failing and disgusting everyone capable of being so.
That's the same bullshit born out of wilful ignorance and cognitive dissonance that Biden supporters spew. It might make you feel better, but it has no basis in reality.
There is no voting fascism away. There is no reforming the system from within, since it's working exactly as designed - by providing an illusion of choice to make you feel like you've had a say, when in reality your only available options all serve the establishment (which is why while a leftist party would be nice, it wouldn't matter, because it would never be allowed to gain power since it would threaten said establishment).
Starmer isn't here to save you or fix the country, he couldn't care less and has made it clear over and over and over again, you just refuse to listen. He's here solely to shift our politics to the right by eliminating any hint of opposition, never mind leftism, in preparation for an even more right leaning government to come.
Your blind loyalty isn't serving you, it never will, despite how comforting it might feel.
Who said anything about loyalty?
I said I hope everyone moves against him as soon as the Tories are dealt with.
I see you're angry, but I think you're telling this stuff to the wrong people.
