there is no bigger indictment of the current Labour Party than them gleefully talking about getting Tory voters to switch and not realising it’s because the two parties are essentially indistinguishable currently

the argument seems to be "it wasn't a hate crime because they were planning to kill other people" which, even if it's true, there's plenty of evidence to show why they chose her first

kingturnip posted:It was pointed out in this thread weeks ago that there was discontent within Israel from civilians who were angry at the thank you for making an actual argument and not just attacking me given Biden’s full-throated support of Israel’s actions so far I think it’s unlikely that he’d refuse extra aid for Israel if they asked for it, but at some point surely he’s got to think about November’s Trump rematch and realise that genocide polls really, really badly with Dems, so who knows

Gonzo McFee posted:They're delivering goods to a nation that is committing genocide. We've been doing this to countries all over the planet for far weaker reasons and with entirely predictable consequences for civilian populations much less capable of surviving than Israel and with much less deliverable demands than "Stop committing genocide". assuming that they’re only shooting at ships going to Israel (which iirc the guy who actually works on one of those ships said wasn’t true) that’s not the crew’s fault, I doubt they get much input on where their cargo ends up I have no problem with a blockade of Israel but I don’t agree with putting undeserving people in danger to do so

if Labour win a landslide after having shifted so far rightwards I don’t see any way they don’t use it as vindication and continue moving in that direction my personal best-case scenario is that they underachieve with a hung Parliament, Starmer gets the blame and the boot, and there’s maybe a small chance that someone vaguely leftist wins the leadership contest
