Politics is about compromise to be a best fit to the will of the people. Starmer is a better fit to the overall will of the people in the UK. Corbyn might have been a better fit to what the left wanted, but are you really claiming he was closer to the overall will of all of the people of the UK than Starmer is?

Democracy is about following the will of the people, not imposing your will upon the people.

    Considering he got 40 percent in one of his elections and Starmer didn't even get 35 percent in this one, yeah I guess I am.

    At least I have a metric I'm pointing to when I'm saying what the consensus is, instead of generally pulling it out of my ass.

    Fuck the metrics, Starmer is PM and Corbyn is just an independent nobody that will effect zero positive change.

    But talking big and doing nothing is what socialism is all about these days, isn't it?
