And yet #Labour has a 20+ point lead in the polls & holding for nearly 2 years. Go figure.
#Corbyn & his people have all but gone & they aren't coming back. Let it go Oli... Let it go man...
Go join forces with George Galloway, present your #FarLeft utopia to the electorate & take your chances. The question remains, why are you doing this? Or is it just easier to sit on the sidelines complaining? 🤷🏾♂️
The #farLeft does this thing where they celebrate a #candidate, but then turn their backs and set them on fire once they discover they don't perfectly agree on every #issue. It's a stupid, counterproductive tactic, and a reason why they continually fail. If you agree with a candidate on 99% of the #issues but rail against them over the 1% you disagree about, that's fucking #stupid. Enough of the irrational #extremism.
German far-left disbands after senior member quits to form rival group
The German far-left party Die Linke lost its group status in the Bundestag on Wednesday due to the departure of senior and influential member Sahra Wagenknecht, who set out to create a rival party, leaving the Bundestag without a far-left group for the first time in nearly two decades.
I’ve been a #progressive my entire life. I’ve had exposure to/been friends with people from the tiny #farleft. I thought they were harmless, hopelessly anachronistic believers of a dead #ideology with like 1-2% adherents. But people lean on ideology in crises and in #israel#hamas#gaza we see how irrational it is. Adherents are not allowed to say #hamas deliberately stoked the crisis. Not allowed to discuss how an axis of terrorists, Iran and a blood soaked dictator in #syria want this crisis.
And beyond this crisis, the #farleft is unprincipled about which #imperialism they will decry. That millions in Ukraine are displaced, 10,000s dead, tens of thousands of children kidnapped doesn’t matter because it’s not the #West or US imperialism. The #left supports a bankrupt dogmatic ideology. It’s as hollow and fake as MAGA #nationalism. That #Assad barrel bombed citizens and hospitals to dust, ignore it. That mafioso #putin in #oligarchy#russia supports the global #farright, ignore it…
🧵I can't stand fucking #tankie's. #Vatnik's & #MAGA'ts definitely annoy me, but nothing irritates me more than these pompous #farleft windbags who seem to revel in nothing but reminding everyone that #AmericaBad™️ & sniffing their own farts. #TheDailyBeast, which normally publishes decent coverage of #Russia's invasion of #Ukraine, likes to send me into occasional fits of rage by publishing hot takes from 4th rate tankie Ben Burgis 1/n
Ben, like the rest of the #FarLeft, today became very concerned about the #ClusterMunitions being sent by the #Biden administration to #Ukraine. You'd think a brave #Humanitarian like Mr. Burgis would unequivocally condemn #Russia's use of such weapons against Ukraine since 2014, but instead he merely acknowledges Russia's use of them in order to...You Guessed It!
Remind everyone that #AmericaBad because Cluster Bombs in #Iraq! 2/n
