As a marketing person (former CMO) I can assure you that the Clinton campaign has nearly nonexistent branding and messaging.

I�m With Her vs. Make America Great Again? WTF???

Not to mention that �Trump Sucks� isn�t exactly a good message either.

Especially when he wins, disproving them.

Well, he didn't disprove them exactly. He does suck. He just disproved their theory that that was all they needed.

He said he accepts the result of the referendum, he still wants to maintain as much of the European relationship as possible, because he is aware that the Hard Brexit which Theresa May is pushing for would gently caress over the poor much harder than the rich.

Even while campaigning to remain, he was asked to give (on a comedy show interview I might add) his enthusiasm for remaining in the EU out of 10, and he gave it a "7, maybe 7 and a half". Which is an honest answer - the EU has problems, and Corbyn recognises that while also recognising the benefits of EU institutions.

It's not the flip-flop you're making it out to be.

Fair enough, sorry for the mistake.

It's odd to see leftists masturbate over the supposed victory of "absolute boy" Corbyn when Labour is not in power and the party is deliberately keeping mum over Brexit because Corbyn actually is for exiting the EU.

I know he's just going for low hanging fruit but if any lurkers thought there was any validity to this; the UK doesn't have a general election like we do, where they elect a direct leader of a party to lead the country. Instead the party with the most parliament (congress) seats or the largest member of a joint-party coalition becomes the PM.

Within this context, Corbyn did the equivalent of turning nearly half of our red states blue. Conservatives entered with a legislation-passing majority and left needing to form controversial coalitions with literal irish protestant terrorists (and bribing them with nearly 2 billion because conservatives are that toxic right now) just to hold onto power (but not actually pass anything).

With this in mind, remember that the american General Election is supposed to be where Democrats make their big gains (with republicans retaliating in the midterms), and note that we lost seats in the recent GE.

Nobody is blaming the left for it! Just that Corbyn has pulled a bit of a 360 on it, and some guy was championing it in here from the leftist perspective.

Since the start of his term as Labour's leader he's pledged to support what Labour's constutents support. He's still no big fan of the EU, but if the people want to stay then thats what he'll push (especially right now, when Liberal Democrats [actual named party] are trying to leech votes by becoming The Remain Party)
