It's an absolute shit show. Hope dashed yet again :(

Such a shame I was really excited about the ex Labour guy who caved to his opponents, purged his own party of anti Zionists and handed the reigns to Kier Starmer.

Brits who think you can vote your way to a better future… you are funny. Bless ya!

The presence of Schnieder as Corbyn's key advisor here is atvthe root of the issue.

His wife is Starmer's press secretary.One can only wonder at tge content of their pillow talk.

By all accounts,JC's other key advisor ,O'Shea,is even worse!

It’s like they decided to do a real-time performance embodying every trope the Right-wingers always use against us.

Ah yes, egos and social media, what a foul concoction.

You MPs fail to remember premise Number One, just reiterated in a post today by Nate Bear: "Nothing Silicon Valley does is for our benefit".

Hence, screaming at each other on social media benefits . . .

Only Social Media Oligarchs, of course. KaChing. Well done, FOOLS.

Sadly, it reminds me of the 70s when the various left-wing factions were too busy fighting each other to ever mount an opposition to the Tories. Or the dozens of factions in The Life of Brian: “Judean People's Front? Pah! We're the People's Front of Judea!”

That's similar in the U.S. There's a great abundance of things that fall under the heading of fighting fascism, but if a candidate doesn't specifically crusade for some people's special issue, they just go home and talk shit. We have to first get a party elected that will even consider that issue.

The DNC hinges all their success on people caving to this or that special issue, to this day. Everything bad right now is pretty much a lever to produce that capitulation, for some strategists.

I guess we just can’t have nice things.

Hmmm.... Sounds amazing! Why oh why would any leftist party uphold inclusivity, diversity of thought? Thank goodness they got that one sorted out!

Jeezum crow, you guys. Even here in Amerikkka we have Rashida Tlaib and Marjorie Taylor-Greene agreeing on SOMEthing.

"Members should know that good things don’t come easily and can only be achieved through a brutal civil war that will probably finish off all involved."

Sigh! Just when things are looking up for those of us who can't stand the system, those we thought weren't in the system start acting like they are and fighting. SIGH.

Spot on! It is so depressing.

Left the other day due to the infighting... Still we are persuaded to give power to those who seek it... It's a poorly designed game, isn't it...

Polanski is correct in that the left needs to go the populist route to fight the right.

Farage galvanised support though shouting and single issues, whereas this lot put such power in their individualism

Y'all need a New and Improved Cromwell, you know, without all of the 17th Century religious nuttery but still disinclined to bullshit, just to sweep away the nattering nabobs of narcissism.
