Aristoled, your definition of "right-winger" seems to be anyone who is not a fan of Jeffrey Corbyn.I guess that would include me. But according to recent polling it also includes about 80% of the British electorate, including 72% of Labour voters.
Not many of you genuine left-wingers left out there it would seem.
Can't you simply concede that many sincere Social Democrtas, who worry about the future of Labour, think Corbyn is a bad leader?
You accuse me of not addressing issues. But instead of dealing with the reasons for Corbyn's dismal ratings you attack anyone who raises these concerns as a right-winger promoting some nefarious Blairite plot.
It has nothing to do with Corbyn. Here is why I am calling you a right-winger:
1) You have repeated the idea that Corbyn has tolerated anti-semitism. That accusation is thrown at anyone who supports the rights of the Palestinians and who challenges the actions of the Israeli government towards them. Heck, there is more open debate about that topic that goes on in Israel than is permitted in North America and the United Kingdom.
2) You have refused to acknowledge that many Labour MPs never accepted Corbyn as their leader, and instead of being constructive in their approach, worked very hard to undermine him. When Jack Layton won the NDP leadership in 2003, he initially had almost no support from Caucus. Could you imagine if that had been immediately followed by NDP MPs going on every TV show complaining about how Jack was undermining the party and that they had to get rid of him?
3) Your talking points have been the same from the 2017 election, and you haven't acknowledged that Corbyn increased the Labour seat count.
4) You have made it all about the political personalities. You haven't spoken to the actual issues at all. You've spoken in vague terms about "Brexit," but haven't said a word about things like education, loan debt, poverty, climate change or anything else. You like to complain about how people are treating you on this thread? I gave you a chance upthread to put aside the petty personal garbage, and actually talk about every day issues that people face. You did not do any of that. You did not put any of your own issues on the table. You went back to your original talking points, many of which had been addressed, without addressing anything anyone else had said. I know sometimes "the mob" can be vicious, but if you've noticed that your interactions with others have not gone well for you, why not take a look in the mirror at your own behaviour?
Hear, hear!
