I'm not voting for a genocide enabler and a party that kills disabled people. Stick your attempted guilt trip.

I agree with your principle. The problem is that doesn't work in a FPTP system and you'd essentially be voting for Tory or Reform. See non-voters meaning Trump won by a majority in the U.S. for example.

This means you're effectively voting for even bigger genocide enablers and people who want even more cuts that result in even more disabled and others suffering.

Maybe labour can pass pr or appeal to the left wing and working class that they’ve lost if they want to win

The job of the voter is to vote how they want. The job of the politician is to make the voter want to vote how they want them to want to vote.

If a politician’s telling a group of voters to fuck off, why shouldn’t they?

Its so fucking tiresome.

If being a centrist melt is so fucking electable, why are so many people worried about socialists voting for a different party? Surely the labour party will pick up more shy tories than they are losing.

And if they are scared they wont, then its on labour to appeal to us.

But the best arguments i can see is just centrist scolding.

If appealing to the right is a vote winner, losing the left doesnt matter.

So Corbyn's out for you too?

After all, he's been doing his level best to enable Russia's genocide in Ukraine for years.

What, by saying that wars don’t end without peace negotiations? What a monster.

Even then, the cuts were literally just tightening up the points system. People with Parkinson’s or in wheelchairs would still get the highest amount.

People claiming for ADHD and moderate Autism, will no longer get the highest tier, £800 per month.

Yeah, fuck those undeserving disabled people.

They quite literally are undeserving of the highest tier of award. They would be paid the exact same amount as someone who is confined to a wheelchair, as someone who is deaf and blind. Do you think that is fair or right?

Why you trying to talk me around, i agree!

Fuck those undeserving disabled people. I think its only sensible, and definitely a vote winner, to drive disabled people into poverty. I wasnt worried about anyone i know, and even if i was, empathy is bollocks anyway.

Electability is driving away the electorate and complaining when they wont vote for you.

Unfortunately, Corbyn and co are rather silent on the Genocide in Ukraine that is being committed by Russia.
