It makes me sad what happened to Corbyn. I would’ve loved to see him as PM but I don’t think, realistically he ever would’ve been.
But I think more than anything - he just seemed like a nice guy who gave a fuck. Something that doesn’t seem to come up often in politics. And he was stomped down and kicked into place by the shitshow of press in this country.
Corbyn never understood how to work the media. He was also appallingly naive about the intentions of fascists like Putin, and was far too trusting of other authoritarian shitheads, just because they were not allied with the US. And when the right-wing press manufactured the antisemitism scandal, he failed to manage it, or even take it seriously. He lacks street smarts.
I voted for him, I despise centrists, but you’d have to be looking the other way to deny that Corbyn was an even less effective leader than Starmer is.
