I'm responding to your point suggesting that those on the left hound Starmer for not being to the left of Trotsky. We can debate what made Corbyn unelectable, but the polling data suggests it wasn't his proposed policies. In fact going out on a limb, I'd wager Starmer would enjoy the same lead in the polls had he largely gone with the same manifesto Labour offered in 2019, voters ultimately found issue with Corbyn himself, the alleged affinity with the IRA/Hamas as well as his personality, not helped of course by the absolute hatchet job the media did on him. In short, this notion that those of us as traditionally Labour or even moderate voters are concerned with Starmer's alignment shift in recent months/years hardly puts us in the unwashed, student commie category. Its a lazy and nonsensical categorisation that dismisses some genuine concerns people have.
Ok so talk to me about this hatchet job that apparently scuppered Corbyn's bid to be PM?
Because why wouldn't the same media do the same to Starmer? You're not making much sense, you raise the media taking all of Corbyn's policies and smashing them up and pulling everything possible out to discredit him, in no part helped by JC earnestness and lack of political nouce.
Perhaps because they've learnt from their mistakes and understand context/needing to bridge the divide to the Tory voter and not to leave yourself open for easy digs, smears and derision.
The fact that no Tory voter was ever going to vote for Corbyn is what, in combination with other factors, made him unelectable.
You need these people, like it or not. You can't have a majority without them. He's not marketing or campaigning for you, he's signalling to Tory literally voters that he isn't going to create a Marxist state run by Hamas and tax everyone 99%. He needs their votes.
You and others have concerns about this precisely because you're acting like student union politics undergrads. You want to see yourself reflected back at you when you look at politicians, which I think is folly and just another type of identity politics.
