I'm hoping that everyone to the left of Starmer makes their move post-election.

Coming at him hard and forming a new party out of purged leftists, greens and independents.

But without a labour victory today we'll be voting against fascism next time. The Tories just did such a good job of failing and disgusting everyone capable of being so.

That's the same bullshit born out of wilful ignorance and cognitive dissonance that Biden supporters spew. It might make you feel better, but it has no basis in reality.

There is no voting fascism away. There is no reforming the system from within, since it's working exactly as designed - by providing an illusion of choice to make you feel like you've had a say, when in reality your only available options all serve the establishment (which is why while a leftist party would be nice, it wouldn't matter, because it would never be allowed to gain power since it would threaten said establishment).

Starmer isn't here to save you or fix the country, he couldn't care less and has made it clear over and over and over again, you just refuse to listen. He's here solely to shift our politics to the right by eliminating any hint of opposition, never mind leftism, in preparation for an even more right leaning government to come.

Your blind loyalty isn't serving you, it never will, despite how comforting it might feel.

Who said anything about loyalty?

I said I hope everyone moves against him as soon as the Tories are dealt with.

I see you're angry, but I think you're telling this stuff to the wrong people.
