      What is wrong? You think him and Macron suddently became the solution?

      Corbyn was so much better than this apparatchik toad. You saw how ridiculous he was with Trump? “Oh, our king is inviting, look at this precious letter”. Fkin embarrassing.

        You’re making the same error that was pushed by propagandists during the US election: Harris and Biden were far from perfect, so support Trump. It was an idiotic and irrational thing to do, and we are paying the consequences for it now. Don’t do it again over here.

          I’m not saying anything line that. I prefer Macron over Trump, but I don’t havê to think he’s the real deal because he isn’t.

          If I was american I would have voted for Harris, advocating that she wasn’t the real deal. But that wouldn’t change my vote, obviously.

          Thats such a BASIC approach to democracy, the good vs bad.

        It makes me sad what happened to Corbyn. I would’ve loved to see him as PM but I don’t think, realistically he ever would’ve been.

        But I think more than anything - he just seemed like a nice guy who gave a fuck. Something that doesn’t seem to come up often in politics. And he was stomped down and kicked into place by the shitshow of press in this country.

          Corbyn never understood how to work the media. He was also appallingly naive about the intentions of fascists like Putin, and was far too trusting of other authoritarian shitheads, just because they were not allied with the US. And when the right-wing press manufactured the antisemitism scandal, he failed to manage it, or even take it seriously. He lacks street smarts.

          I voted for him, I despise centrists, but you’d have to be looking the other way to deny that Corbyn was an even less effective leader than Starmer is.
