With both Bernie in the primary and now Starmer getting the leadership I'm really seeing a pattern of the left at large taking small hits and being like "welp this is fucked time to go home"
The "Bernie is over" talk started the exact second Biden got the snow-woman/rat-mayor endorsements and it didn't need to start at all, not on our side.

Similarly Starmer being the labour leader isn't like "the end" and it's kind of absurd seeing so many people treat it that way
If you hate Starmer & think he's an insufficient labour candidate, you still have Momentum, you still have local advocacy, you have options - talking like the party has reset to 1997 is really harmful and erases the fantastic work Corbyn did in shifting the UK overton window left

Seriously I am intensely sick of people whose entire leftism comprises pointing at other stuff and saying it isn't left enough or otherwise spreading pessimism
