Honestly I'm okay with Keir Starmer even if he was absolutely not my first choice, maybe I'm just rationalising it because the Democrats elected a senile dipshit motherfucker who kowtows to the Republicans because BIPARTISANSHIP.

Keir Starmer will be awful, they're already planning mass purges of the left.

It's not even debt in the traditional sense. It was the government making the government take out a loan from the government to cripple part of the government.

I voted Kier.

I think it's time we put idealism to bed and actually set our sights on the public. My greatest hopes for this party is to now bait and switch the same way the Tories always do. To front ourselves as centrist and sensible as much as possible in order to roll that Trojan horse through an election.

It's possible that I'm the one being deceived and the horse is full of blairites but I'd take that over years of continuing the trash fire that has been honest attempts at socialism.

If you want a loud socialist vanguard you need to take it elsewhere. Mainstream politics isn't for your turbo idealism. What's dumb as poo poo is trying the same thing over and over and continuing to make pathetic excuses as for why it's failing rather than adapting to the environment.

All of this seems pretty good.

Joe Biden is out there saying he'd veto universal healthcare, Starmer is publicly committing to pledges to nationalise major industries. He served loyally in Corbyn's cabinet. Why are people so convinced he's a dyed in the wool neoliberal?

The people funding and running his leadership campaign have all been openly rubbing themselves at the idea of purges against the left.

It's easy for you to criticise now that your preferred outcome will never be put to the test. I can't show you what another five years of socialists making pathetic excuses for themselves looks like.

I imagine in the next few months the party is going to appear as bi-partisan as possible, and it's going to make some big token moves to appear like it's doing something about the dumb anti Semitism thing. As a result everyone here will be screaming for my apology. What I want to wait for is the next manifesto, or at the very least the next conference, to see what they do with power and not just what they do while the press is watching.

Why the gently caress would you want to appear Bi-partisan when the leading party is just about to have to explain thousands of deaths.

If you want to prove that an honest attempt at socialism can work, you're free to try elsewhere.

It's cool that you wandered into the Socialist thread, announced that you're dumb as gently caress, voted for the Neoliberal who was the architect behind the policy that most demonstrably lost us the 2019 election and are implying that this somehow makes you more practical than everyone else.

Can I ask what it is about making a massively stupid decision that everyone laughs at you for that makes men double down and pretend to be the smartest man in the room?

His campaign was funded and ran by the Blairites. The Blairites hand picked Keir. He was part of the chicken coup. His Brexit policy shafted Labour in 2019. What the gently caress do you expect to happen?

Gonna be honest, the personal attacks on Azza are loving disgusting and making me reconsider my opinion of this thread. I don't agree with how they voted, but people are acting like Glinner in blackface has just popped in to do a reading from the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. They're a good poster and as far as I can tell a good person, and posts like

An opinion expressed (in slightly less direct terms) by a lot of posters in this thread (and around the entire internet) last month. But by all means keep Helldumping someone to try and justify acting like a total oval office to someone. Dig out the posts I made joking about how great politics will be when all the boomers die while you're at it.

There's been some serious Lord of the Flies energy in the last few pages, and I hope people can reflect on this in a few days time and realise that (and what it means more broadly for their politics).

Chatting with my neighbour (from a distance) she brought up that she hadn't seen me outside clapping and she forgot on Friday so had a bit of a finger wagging from another neighbour for being late.

I'm not doing it mainly because this town is overwhelmingly conservative voters so it comes off as an empty gesture, but gently caress me that its now an obligation.

You tell them that frontline worker Gonzo McFee says to shut the gently caress up if you voted tory and you don't get to clap.
