Dems Vow To Learn From Labour Party's Mistake Of Not Going Far Enough Left

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Democrats stateside were watching closely as UK election results came in Thursday. They wanted to see how the Labour Party did so they could learn from any mistakes they made.
Well, sure enough, Labour endured a brutal massacre, losing seats they didn't even know they had. So, Democrats vowed to learn from their obvious mistake of not going far enough to the left.
"It's clear that Labour lost because they weren't radical enough," said Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, who had seemingly endorsed Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party. "We're not going to repeat their mistake. We need to appeal to the common American by pushing policies that would be at home in Soviet Russia."
Rep. Rashida Tlaib said in a statement, "People didn't turn up to the polls across the pond because Corbyn and his brave freedom fighters were too conservative. Labour really should have gone off the deep end, like we're doing with the Democratic Party."
"Also, they could have used a little more anti-semitism."
Nancy Pelosi agreed with the far-left wing of her party, though it was unclear if she really saw eye to eye with them or was just frightened for her life.

There was a strong undercurrent in the Labour voters of repulsion toward the rising antisemitism among Labour leaders like Corbyn, leading to them "lending their vote" to Johnson and the Conservative party. They will not return to Labour until those antisemites are purged, starting with Corbyn. And Corbyn is already gone as Labour leader after this defeat.
So this line is humorous but it hits the right nerve. A large segment of Labour voters in rural Britain are clearly anti-antisemitic and it helped Johnson close the deal with them and carry districts that had been Labour's since the 1930's.
Corbyn gave Britain a unity not seen since Hitler. Quite an achievement.

Looks like they're finding out that what they see/read on Twitter just isn't true.
Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!

The did work hard and largely succeeded in alienating the Jewish vote. Far more telling is that they worked extra hard to alienate the BREXIT voters, and just the people who were frustrated that Corbyn defied the express will of the people in parliament, while eternally failing to step up and actually take a stated position on BREXIT.
Boris Johnson stated a clear position and crushed Labor. Not long ago, who woulda thunk it.

And to hear some folks tell it Hil(liar)y everybody seems to be a Russian agent nowadays if they disagree with their/her politics. lol
I really don't see what idiots like her think they're accomplishing when it is becoming more evident everyday that fewer and fewer people are paying any attention to them whatsoever, other than to laugh at them that is...
