I think this just goes to show how much fake news and propaganda can influence voters.

This shows that the Trump 2016 victory was not a one-off exception.



I'm feeling really dispirited

:mjcry:




People are starving, dying in the streets, kids are going to sleep hungry, we're facing a climate armageddon, ...

A decent man steps up with a refreshing, bold plan to address the pressing issues of the day.


And then this.




I have no faith in the general public.

There was absolutely no way the establishment was going to allow Corbyn a win here. He was the biggest threat they’ve faced in a long time. Anyone who thinks this result wasn’t rigged clearly hasn’t been paying attention.

They only way Labour would be allowed to ever come back to governing is if they picked some torylite Blairite who would prove no threat to the establishment.

Lol Twitter is bodying Bernie/Warren right now. I don’t think this is comparable because Corbyn had bad favorables while Bern/Liz are generally liked

The entire world is moving rightward towards fascism. It's a backlash to liberal globalism.

Zero attempt at introspection from Corbyn backers I see :francis:


Do you really expect me to believe Labour would lose this badly if Corbyn had a clear message about remaining, in addition to his platform?


If Corbyn came out 100% for remain, how on earth would that have prevented Labour from getting wiped out in the Midlands and North?

In retrospect, trying to appeal to both leavers and remainers at once did not work, but to just ignore leavers entirely clearly wouldn't have worked either.



Any other left-of-center Labour leader would have gotten smeared.

Miliband was portrayed as a clumsy weirdo, Brown was portrayed as an unlikable jerk with anger issues, etc.


Tony Blair avoided that fate by going down on Murdoch.
