I was about to say "wtf is a long Corbyn"
I just imagined Corbyn with a really long body... wheres my photoshop...
Working on it. Will upload later if successful.

I think what they’re trying to say is that the stench of corbyn has left a “long shadow” over the labor party and that it’s something that must be overcome by the new centrists leadership.
They are saying the same thing they did about Bernie were naive losers were “tricked” into believing good things could happen instead of means tested compromised BS
I think part of it is genuine naivety of the media, not being able to understand that there is ideology and theory on alternatives to the current dogshit system that goes back hundreds of years.
All they can comprehend is that the elected leaders and political thinkers can only have napkin-written bullet point talking points that end up making the system worse, and because of this history of fucking psychopathic neoliberals promising woke capitalism that ends up creating more concentrated wealth and worse conditions for everyone not a billionaire, that the better something sounds from a politician the worse it is going to be. Like, promising good things like social supports means that it's going to end up really really bad ultimately, and is probably somehow racist or antisemitic. So the only acceptable things are those that sound "realistic", which is a way of saying that the working class are being promised fuck all and the promise is that nothing will get better.
It comes down, at least partially, to fatigue with being lied to and being paid or beaten into submission.
Remember : there are more ivy leauge graduates in media and news then any other field. The people running the show benefit from the system and don’t know anything else.
That’s a weird way of saying “Corbyn made people demand real change from their government and we and our corporate overlords don’t like that”
Fuck Starmer and the rest of the neoliberal nonces of TERF Island.
New head canon: Starmer is actually a deep-cover Trot working to completely destroy social democracy from the inside
Maybe he's just a deep-cover Tory, i'd assume a Trot would have managed to split the party by now. :soviet-playful:
It’s not surprising that Brit media is just as bad, if not worse, than American. We deserve each other.
Do you think long corbyn is friends with
:baby-matt:
That is such a garbage fucking headline. Starmer is already lower in polls that Corbyn ended up with. Starmer is just a blarite loser who sucks, none of this has to do with Corbyn. Really absurd shit that is so overplayed
Why are they so obsessed with the man lol.
He's still too popular and they can't handle it.
Same reason why neoliberals are obsessed with AOC and Sanders.
They'll spend the next 30+ years moving right and blaming corbyn for being unpopular
