We in the US feel the same about Bernie Sanders. The Dumocrats did everything they could to keep that reasonable man from office in both 2016 and 2020.
Bernie “the sheepdog" Sanders, turned on his supporters in 2016, when upon losing the nomination, urged them to get behind the war criminal Clinton, who was the main force behind the NATO bombing of Libya.
Sanders would have beaten trump, but the stupid Dems wanted a female POTUS and forfeited the election!
I’ve been pretty sure it was the other way around: the Corporate Controllers of both parties (their separateness is a carefully cultivated illusion) wanted Trump to win so they could bribe or blackmail him to do their bidding on everything, as he has done; no one likes Hillary, so they criminally manipulated the primaries, especially California’s, and made deals or threats to Bernie to withdraw, to produce a candidate that even Trump could beat. And even then, he lost the popular vote.
Ae, that's a plausible scenario, that's not beyond the bounds of credibility, when it comes to the shenanigans, that go on within US "elections."
But if Bernie succumbed to "deals or threats" to withdraw, knowing that Clinton had a lower poll rating than trump, then goes on to urge his supporters to get behind her, his estimation in my eyes, can't get any lower than it currently is, which is rock bottom, since his refusal to recognise, the genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza, while genocide Joe, an avowed zionist was POTUS!
Also New York's primary! People were not allowed to change their party of registration after six months had elapsed. This meant that if they decided to support Bernie instead of Hillary they could not do so.
Bernie is Jewish by ethnicity (not by religion) and he spent time there as a young man on kibbutz... But even I was shocked that Bernie can't say the "g-word" in regard to Izrealhell's ethnic cleansing of Gaza, the West Bank, and now Lebanon. He really has sold his soul to the Dem-wits.
If he can’t name the Genocide of the Palestinians by Israel he doesn’t have a moral compass and is not and never has been fit for any political purpose ever on the back of that.
Just a cursory look at this doesn’t dispel the fact that it was way too late for a person of his stature to finally declare what genocide scholars had been declaring a lot earlier and to put that Hamas started it when the Palestinians have been enduring the occupation since 1936 is laughable.
But it starts out with the typical pro-Zionist rhetoric: "Hamas, a terrorist organization, began this war..."
It's NOT a "war"--it is a genocide. All Bernie says in this statement is that the UN and other organizations have called it a genocide and he's okay with that. But Bernie himself isn't calling it a genocide--he's calling it a "war" and he blames Hamas for starting it. So, I'm not convinced that Bernie is on the side of Palestinians deep down. (And I was one of his delegates and went to Philadelphia in 2016. He tricked us all into thinking he was an actual socialist who cared about the people.)
Excellent summary of Starmer. I do not see Burnham as any cause for celebration though. I can remember when Burnham was an MP, and was unimpressed then by his lack of principles. He was well immersed in Blairism, which has evolved into Starmerism, all the while being run by the same cabal of party functionaries, with a Commons full of hand picked apparatchiks.
If I was a conspiracy theorist, I would suggest that having failed to successfully steal Farage Ltd’s clothes with Starmer, they have realised that there may be space for a “soft left” candidate as leader, so will run Burnham as a “clean pair of hands”.
Same party, refreshed paint job, same zero chance of meeting the basic needs of the struggling rather than the millionaire class.
Remember when Brexiteers used to whine about being 'ruled by Brussels'? And then 6 PM's in 10 years proved that anything Brussels could do, they'd fuck up royally? Whilst lying, supporting genocide, and setting the police against their own most decent people? Let us pray fervently that Andy Burnham has some Belgian in him.
That is a perfect summary of Starmer's calamitous regime.
Perhaps with the notable exception of Truss and BoJo, I cannot think of a more unsuitable; more loathsome person to hold sway over this Country's affairs. Starmer, and his cabal went out of their way to alienate and disenfranchise as many people as he could by pandering to Farage whilst preaching from the Neo Liberal Bible about the inevitability of cuts to public spending whilst pumping billions into war zones and sundry proxy wars.
The most irritating thing about Starmer will be his legacy. Epitaphs such as "an honourable man" and "a fundamentally decent man" are doing the rounds despite being utterly divorced from reality.
Despite his failings, he will reappear as either an EU Commissioner; NATO Ambassador or spokesperson for a "Think Tank". Watch this space!
Been living on turnip soup most of my Wage Stag-Nation life (over the pond here in the heart of Empire, no not NYC, the Western Empire of No Cal & No Ore SoWA) been a long time I could earn a wage to cover ever spiraling rents amid Wage Stag-NATION inflation....
At 65 retirement is no option and living on the street is closest I've come to it in my working persons' lifetime.
Those who inherited or accumulated enough to buy a home, preferably rural in one of the many dead-end towns with no prospects for past half a century, those folks who bought de-valued properties after the Finance Sector Collapse & Bail Out of 2008, in short a town in a county with NO PROSPECTS of hosting multi-Data Centers should be on easy street for rest of their days if they play their deflationary sole possession optimally.
"Inside Job" Director Charles Ferguson: Wall Street Has Turned US Into a "Predatory Nation"
Here's a woman never much favored by U.S. Corporate-Captured News Media, yet a former leader at Goldman Sachs, namely Nomi Prins whose book to ponder again as deja vu is
titled PERMANENT DISTORTION which references the various myths of Free Markets that the former Finance Executive played much to her personal benefit (even while publishing the less popular financial truths well explained and counseling against in her feeling she and her husband can now afford to advocate in the Public Interest again, rather than remain silent while feathering their Private Interests)...

"Guest: Nomi Prins is an economist, journalist, author, and
former Wall Street executive. She is the author of many books including her latest Permanent Distortion: How the Financial Markets Abandoned the Real Economy Forever."
Exactly - financialization focuses on the next shiny thing while ignoring the infrastructure that supports the entire economy, and of course people, which They soon won't need.
How sad that Democrats in the US weren't able (under our DREADFUL KKKonstitution) to force Biden's resignation in 2023 -- and in favor of anyone BUT Harris. We might have been spared the horrors of Trump.
It remains to be seen whether Labour can get their heads out of their collective arses and actually DO something. However, it has been clear for a while that Starmer would achieve only one objective, and that was to turn the UK back over to the Right.
Note that Charles specifically went to the US to beg for more American involvement. Similarly, the G7 meeting. Note how the brits whine like schoolgirls getting dumped at the thought that the US might abandon the war.
Britain always seeks to stir up strife so they can show the Americans who is the most loyallest little bitch. One sees similar behavior in a dog. The dog barks at the mailman, but he wants Master to fight the postman while Fido barks from a safe distance.
What, reward the genocide party, with re-election? The duopoly is “evil" and the US deserves it. Sadly the rest of the world doesn't, but can't escape the repercussions!
I have addressed this argument on many posts. The duopoly gives us only the right to choose the lesser of two evils. Yes, Harris was for genocide, but would she have turned the country over to an oligarchy; flushed the environment, medicine, and science down the toilet; warped the tax system even MORE severely in favor of the wealthy; bombed Iran and precipitated a global economic crisis; set ICE goons loose to terrorize immigrants (including US citizens); made such ghastly judicial appointments, etc. ad nauseam? Would there be a serious danger that we shall have no more elections? Would the KKKonstitution be reduced to used toilet paper, with no rule of law whatsoever?
I think Harris would have made a lousy president, but she would have been infinitely better than Trump. You allude to "the genocide party," but has Trump ended the genocide, OR HAS IT GOTTEN WORSE?
The US has supported fascism in various guises, overthrowing legitimate regimes and/or supporting military dictatorships all over the Latin America, in Europe (e.g., Greece), in Iran, in many parts of Africa, et al. One might argue that it deserves to be under fascist rule (karma). However, I prefer to fight against that possibility. You apparently think otherwise.
There is no "lesser of two evils," the duopoly is ruled by the oligarchs and the "evil" kleptocracy, dictates policy. Harris would have done what it wanted, especially as her zionist sympathies and relationships, aligned with those of the genocidal establishment Dems.
Since when has the duopoly invested in infrastructure or the needs of USians. The US tax system has favoured the privileged elites since Reagan and democrat POTUS's, haven't relieved the burden on the average American at all, in fact they just curry favour with their corporate super PAC donors, by giving them more tax relief.
As for "elections" they're just a sop to delude Americans, into thinking that their votes make a difference, in the outcome and direction of the empire's imperialist goals. They don't!
The policy is decades old, since the dissolution of the Soviet Union and with a few twinks here and there, will be what governs the future of the dying empire .
9 marks out of 10. You forgot to mention his paedophile sympathies go back to his DPP days when the Jimmy Savile file mysteriously excaped his attention and deploying his KC skills in getting protesters against genocide prosecuted as terrorists.
Yes! Nail on the head in every case. The man is a sham, hollow as an Easter Egg but not as sweet. And, sadly, you're probably right that he will end up in the Lords where they will be forced to listen to his whiny voice pontificating about all the marvellous things he did for the country he - ahem - loves.
Brilliant! You’ve captured it perfectly. Of course the VC of Labour Together gave up his seat for Burnham. There’s no such thing as a free seat
Correct 💯
You have outdone yourself in this analysis of Sir Keir Starmer's enlightened reign.
Starmer was a politician to despise, and I do. If only Jeremy Corbyn had been our leader our world would be a much much better place !!!!
We in the US feel the same about Bernie Sanders. The Dumocrats did everything they could to keep that reasonable man from office in both 2016 and 2020.
However, Corbyn was 10x better than Bernie. Bernie is a massive Zionist and therefore also a disciple of the Devil. The Antichrist.
Bernie Sanders who could not defeat the Dems. so he joined them!
Bernie “the sheepdog" Sanders, turned on his supporters in 2016, when upon losing the nomination, urged them to get behind the war criminal Clinton, who was the main force behind the NATO bombing of Libya.
Sanders would have beaten trump, but the stupid Dems wanted a female POTUS and forfeited the election!

Yes. His blaming of Hamas for the “war” is certainly rock bottom; sadly, most other legislators here manage to be even lower. Seventh circle of hell?

Also New York's primary! People were not allowed to change their party of registration after six months had elapsed. This meant that if they decided to support Bernie instead of Hillary they could not do so.
I didn’t know about that! Thank you.
Yes, not sure why he's so bad on the terror colony but I still have that graphic of his supporters across the country…. and his slogan “Not Me, Us” ✊
Bernie is Jewish by ethnicity (not by religion) and he spent time there as a young man on kibbutz... But even I was shocked that Bernie can't say the "g-word" in regard to Izrealhell's ethnic cleansing of Gaza, the West Bank, and now Lebanon. He really has sold his soul to the Dem-wits.

I’ll keep reposting this statement of Bernie’s; he should have done it sooner, but he declared “genocide” into the Congressional Record:

Friend of Israel Bernie Sanders…
Just take a look at the British people............ugly/dirty and non stop drinking. Ugly human beings.
Perhaps you’re mistaking those American tourists, a few of whom
And the biggest tool his mother ever produced was kier himself.
Relax...they've a fresh Zionist lined up.

“The British people love this shit, especially when it’s in their rivers.” 😂😱💩
My absolute favorite line!
There's a new corporate imperialist sockpuppet.
Oh well, he'll enjoy a honeymoon of a few months, and that will be all he needs.
Remember when Brexiteers used to whine about being 'ruled by Brussels'? And then 6 PM's in 10 years proved that anything Brussels could do, they'd fuck up royally?

It’s so unfair, Laura has squeezed every last drop of satire out of that, barely a crumb for us amateurs to play with.
I tried, but I failed miserably ... I'll get my coat ... hehe!
Martin - don’t give up - I’m pretty sure there’ll be plenty of opportunities when the next incumbent floats to the top of Westminster’s swamp.
That is a perfect summary of Starmer's calamitous regime.

Yes the think tank option seems likely.
Fundamentally decent at not using the word ’genocide’.
Well, you traded a head of lettuce for a turnip. All you can make with that is soup.
Been living on turnip soup most of my Wage Stag-Nation life (over the pond here in the heart of Empire, no not NYC, the Western Empire of No Cal & No Ore SoWA) been a long time I could earn a wage to cover ever spiraling rents amid Wage Stag-NATION inflation....

The uk political establishment, Labour and Tory, has no priority other than the War On Russia, namely getting Americans to fight that war for them.
Burnham will seek to use his honeymoon to that end.
Other way round Feral. Britain is the 'proxy' for the USA
Note that Charles specifically went to the US to beg for more American involvement. Similarly, the G7 meeting. Note how the brits whine like schoolgirls getting dumped at the thought that the US might abandon the war.

C’mon FF, there must be some other British thing we can all mock - you seem to know them and their motivations so well.
As I pointed out previously, getting Americans to fight Russia for them is the sole priority of the british political class.
Did they tell you?
FF do you do have anything other than the war with Russia thing we can pin on those cowardly British?
If they would stop acting so...british, I would stop calling them out for acting so british.
Ha. The British do not know how to stop being "British" until a Russian bomb lands on their heads.
I have 2 Grandkids in Britain: I keep telling them to get out........one of them is moving.
Even if Russia were to finally respond, the british political class will be snug as a bug in a rug in their bunkers.
As for the poor buggers who go up in a mushroom cloud, oh well, can't be helped now, can it?
Correct.
