    Well he’s pro privatisation of the NHS, pro Israel,

    anti-trans, dropped his electoral reform promises and to abolish the house of lords

    dropped his green energy promises,

    decided to keep private schools as charity status,

    Is keeping the Tories cuts to welfare,

    is pro university tuition fees,

    is against taxing the rich more,

    dropped his commitment to nationalise public services like water gas and energy,

    dropped his promise to defend freedom of movement and refuses to start the process of rejoining EU or EEA,

    dropped his promise to stop new oil and gas licences in the north sea,

    dropped his promise to scrap the universal credit system

    So please tell me, what is he offering to do thats actually left wing, that the Tories arent?



  • He’s pledged to set up a nationalised green energy company,

    That isnt actually an energy company and will own 0 infrastructure or generation capacity.

    increase funding to the NHS, and build 300,000 new homes per year.

    But he refuses to reverse the privatisation of NHS trusts and also those are both policies the Tories are supporting as well.


  • Also need to point out that in his first election Corbyn was only 7 seats away from winning, or 2,227 votes away from winning that election. So the conservatives and the liberal media and right wingers in his own party absolutely shat themselves and started doing whatever they could to make sure he didnt win the next one. Combined with the 2019 election being mostly about brexit and Corbyn being in an impossible position of trying to unite a party that was deeply split on the issue. meant he had his “historic” loss. And even then he still got 10,000,000 votes compared to Johnsons 14,000,000 so it really wasnt even as big of a blowout as the media pushed it as.

    Okay, so instead of looking up the etymology of every single word you just want me to look up the definition of every single word? Oh yeah mate, thats completely reasonable actually 🤡🤡

    Just suck it up and learn, buttercup. You were wrong and are now doing a really bad rearguard action.

    God I feel bad for whoever knows you in real life, if you’re this insufferably smug over a stranger getting the definition of a word wrong, I cant imagine how much you have your head up your own arse in person.



  • If the Dems werent so perpetually useless, they would immediately jump on this to get shit done, then when republicans cry and whine, push them to actually pass legislation that explicitly denies this. So they are stuck between letting Biden do whatever he wants to and stopping him, but also dooming Trump and/or whatever republican candidate down the line they want to be able to exploit these powers.

    But they wont. Joe and his handlers will keep doing nothing and expecting everything to just magically work itself out. And then in January we will have a fully unrestricted God-king Trump.

    (Also it would be so fucking funny if Trump just died of natural causes before the election/ inauguration, the MAGATS would actually implode from conspiracy theories)

    Commercial realestste makes up a significant amount of rich people’s investment portfolios. And if people stopped needing office space the property would devalue and those rich people would lose easy money.

    So they have all collectively agreed to force their workers back to the office I order to keep the real estate values up and keep their investments positive.
