I'd vote Jeremy Corbyn every time.

[@dean9235]

Me, too.

@@dean9235why vote for a Marxist who wants the country weaker. No skills himself, no experience of office, could only take money off one to hand to another.

[@user-pp5lv6dl2k]

Genuinely curious. Why does Jeremy corbyn scare so many? Why is talking about him like talking about Voldemort?

[@Elephantstopper1]

Because Corbyn is a massive danger to the arms industry, tax dodgers, bankers, the elites and Zionists. He can't be bought and they don't have anything they can blackmail him with. But it's mainly his support of Palestine. You can't be in power if you support Palestine in the UK. Everyone knows that.

[@dermolado3351]

I think you will find that most people are not capable of being discerning hence why they went with Boris, a man that gave them Brexit and Partygate when they could have had someone who would have been truly reformative.

[@MV-se4di]

I want to know this too!!! He seems like a nice and reasonable man.

[@hamza9234]

Corbyn was the man for the poor such as myself, growing up in my late teens. He wanted to tax the rich and hold up the truest meaning of international law. James O Brien, like much of the media didn't like his rhetoric and so they smeared him consistently about antisemitism which btw, is rampant in every party.

[@jn4126]

Because he suggested supporting Palestine before it was popular? Because he suggested that rich people should pay more? Because he believes in people before country? Man made alot of enemies

[@johndodds9839]

say what you will about Corbyn. At the end of the day he was more principled than Starmer will ever be. Starmers lies will come back to bite him.

[@deend7824]

Because he is a reminder of what they ARE and what they are NOT: *The truth & human morality* And the end of Arm sells to Israel & any country committing human rights violation that means financially affecting the war machine "businessman"! And he is unable to be brought & be a puppet unlike the majority of politicians. They fear that he might be Prime Minister where he would correct Britain's greatest sin against humanity by giving historic Palestine to the Palestinians, which is few main reason why so much hate is propagating against him and the endless smear campaign against Jeremy Corbyn. Because he promised to recognises the injustice committed against the people of Palestine and he is more than willing to give them recognition which the Zionists feared the most since the creation and recognition of Palestine will pressure or force Israel to give back and withdraw from from the occupied territories! Leading to 2 state solution & evidently Israel/ZIonists don't want that.

[@jamesarnold7253]

@@GiZeeGis in August 2022 he said we should stop sending arms. At that point Putin was aiming to take the whole country. If we listened to people like him there wouldn't be a Ukraine now would there? Putin wants us to sit on the edge talking about peace while he takes what he wants. Corbyn would be more than happy to give him exactly that

[@GiZeeGis]

@@jamesarnold7253 so is that why Starmer spent so long distancing himself from him? If I was Starmer I would have said Corbyn has some position that I do not support, like his position on Ukraine, otherwise he was an excellent candidate for labour. Proof in that is his constituants love in and am certain if we had a direct election in the UK he will beat Starmer at a national election.

[@dean9235]

I think Jeremy Corbyn would have made a brilliant Prime Minister.

[@frixosfriedman7813]

He would have absolutely.

[@JecaMasha]

he himself, yes, but due to the british system he would have been obstructed heavily by parl and others. in france for example he could have done tons of things. the only way to break through this would have been many alternative media and people on the streets all the time. constant popular pressure, but ya there was a small chance for brits to have a better life and it was crushed.

There is a very potent cultural myth that surrounds the hardship of elder generations; the generation that grew up in the 60s had parents who had either actually fought in the Second World War or suffered privation and hardship because of it, and also their grandparents had either actually fought in the First World War or suffered because of it. That leaves a powerful psychological mark, whereby "the older generation" always had it harder and therefore the younger generation are reaping the benefits of their sacrifice without having worked for it. As the Boomers and Gen X have slotted into the "Older Generation", they have adopted what they perceive to be the appropriate archetypes. That's my theory, anyway.
