You’d have to be a terminal wally to fall for this shite
British lefties who say they won’t vote for Starmer: I understand where you’re coming from, I do. Just one small thing, if you could just help me with that: what the actual fuck are you talking about?
This is the childish view of politics as sport, where the only thing that matters is that the man in the boot stamping on your face wears a red rather than a blue rosette. Where all that matters is “Tories out” with no thought at all about if what replaces them is any better. Labour and Starmer have done their level best to signal that they will be continuity Tories, but they wear the right colour tie so let’s get them in power. Politics reduced to pulling the lever for the ‘correct’ party with no demands on its leadership, no accountability, just some magic faith that it will all come good once they’re in power and just ignore all the lies and broken promises.
So far, so liberal, but it’s worse. You’re being urged to vote for a party ruled by the same people that deliberately sabotaged its chances because they disliked its previous leader. You’re expected to vote for the people who called you antisemitic, traitorous scum, who sicced the press and the BBC on you for just wanting a bit more equality, a bit more justice. Even after you surrendered and you voted for Starmer as leader just to make the bullying stop, it didn’t end. Now it’s the party itself calling its own members filthy peasant oiks that better vote for it if they know what’s good for them and then bugger off.
Who would vote for that? They told you to fuck off, so if you have any dignity, do so.
