      don’t worry, soon we’ll have the comedy party for leftists to vote for to hasten the authoritarian reform government you and your putin supporting friends have been hoping for

      Big Corbyn Sigh

      Leftists were running the party in 2015 and got kneecapped by Starmer’s New Labour. Now Labour has a supermajority, having purged all the leftists MPs but kept their voters.

      And it’s still the leftists’ fault for not voting. 398 MPs isn’t enough, somehow. 60 Senators and 235 House Reps wasn’t enough for American liberals in 2009, nor 51S/233H in 2021.

      Liberals can win in a landslide and it’s still the Leftists fault they didn’t win big enough

        Granted I’m not familiar with UK politics so maybe shouldn’t have commented, but as for US politics you’re sure picking exacting dates. They need to win consistently, not once every 12-16 years.

            citing several voter registration fraud investigations.

            Like not just one fraud investigation. Several. And you’re trying to hold this up as ?? failure on the Dems part? Frankly, lol. Just shows how badly you’re grasping at straws to say “d d Dems bad!”

            I’m reminded of a post that said “we voters did our part, why didn’t Dems” when you said those exacting specific dates. Like I said, it’s not once every measly 12 to 16 years and expecting Fascism to be defeated forever and always until the end of time. This ain’t once and done.

                Nah if this was your claim (that shutting down ACORN was a bad idea) then you have to back it up. And quote the relevant part, I already read through one of your links and something tells me you’ll just dump more links. I’m pulled straight from your link, several fraud investigations.

    Did leftists ever warn about this? Seems like the only reason they are against it now is because its not them doing it. Maybe left leaning liberals warned about this

      First of all Liberals are literally the one doing it. They’re the ones doing in the UK and the ones who’ve been doing it in America. Liberals are the people who vote for this kind of thing in droves. So that’s just a specious argument on your part completely.

      So your complete and utter ignorance of 21st century politics aside, where do you get off on suggesting that leftists haven’t been warning against government overreach? Where do you get off saying that leftists don’t rail against censorship and oppression of protests? On what planet is that a remotely realistic argument?

        First of all, liberals didnt vote for it. I dont remember Kier starmer campaigning on this issue.

        1.5 billion Chinese leftists dont rail against censorship and oppression.

          If you’re wondering what that faint sound you’re hearing is it’s me and anyone else who read this comment laughing uproariously at the idea of 1.5 billion Chinese leftists. Pffft good lord. I already thought you were an absurd person based on the previous comment but now my goodness…

            So chinese people arent leftists? i guess the only true leftists are the ones who live comfortably in western liberal societies that have freedom of expression.

            Even if we assume 99% of chinese people arent leftists ( I am so charitable ) thats still a leftist government responsible for more overreach, censorship and authoritarianism than most of the world combined.

            Now compare that to you claiming “liberals vote for these policies in droves” I doubt you find a single liberal who campaigned on these censorship policies and won.
