    Dude really is your Hillary, isn’t he? Assholes decided he’s the devil and ruin him just by endlessly scoffing at the very idea of him.

      Our Hillary? As in Clinton? That’s not how I’d put it. JCs a chap who has stood up for the oppressed against oppressors regardless of who they were. He was an actual reformer, and wanted to actually help people, his party threw 2 elections for the sake of the status quo and corporate interests, and did nothing about the smear campaigns against him. The British public mostly liked him though and he brought more people to his party than basically ever, people used to sing his name.

      Hillary? I mean, she was a democrat but in no way a reformer, things would have just been status quo under her like they are under Biden.

          Still, I’d much more readily draw a comparison between Corbyn and Bernie Sanders over Hillary any day of the week, the press tried the anti-semitism with sanders too briefly, but it didn’t stick because the man is Jewish himself.

      No. What? People like him, he’s just really fucking bad at politics. He didn’t play the game and you’ve got to do that.
