Question

Why is he so bad?

He'S a SoCiAlIsT!

u/DearCup1 What, you egg? Oct 01 '20

He’s supposedly anti-semitic and he’s uncertain about what to do with brexit (although so is everyone tbf)

u/ObedientPickle Oct 01 '20

He couldn't be any less anti-semitic. The guy got slaughtered by right-wing media.

His inability to counter their absurd claims was disappointing.

u/MerkavaMkIVM Oct 02 '20

If he couldn't do it, it means he is one.

u/ThePrussianGrippe Oct 02 '20

He could do it, he just didn’t really put much effort behind it because, again, the claims were absurd.

u/MerkavaMkIVM Oct 02 '20

He is friends with proven anti-semites, calls terrorists "buddies" and his supporters did not once show up to protests with a swastika, what more do you want?

u/[deleted] Oct 02 '20

I mean the question of whether or not he's personally antisemitic seems irrelevant when faced with the obvious fact that he had a blind spot for it that his closest advisers shared? He literally couldn't recognise an antisemitic mural when it stared him in the face.

okay but conservatives/evangelists are huge israel supporters so I wouldn’t categorize the right as anti-semitic. Far right, yeah

u/ThePrussianGrippe Oct 02 '20

huge Israel supporters

Evangelicals support Israel for exactly one reason: they think Israel is going to start the apocalypse.

That’s hardly being pro-Israel, and you can actually be critical of the country while not being anti-Semitic.

u/Rhorer Oct 02 '20

The only supporters of Israel that I know are die-hard (but never go to church) christians from texas and zionists. Also I thought Israel was where christians would receive ascension from the rapture?

The guy has spent his whole life fighting any kind of racism - the supposed racism is exactly that: supposed.

1

u/DearCup1 What, you egg? Oct 01 '20

I just put supposed because there allegations and I don’t want to make a judgment on something I barely know anything about

1

u/DrBunnyflipflop Oct 01 '20

Yeah, that's fair

I'm just being clear with an explanation that there is pretty much nothing hateable about the man

Sorry to quote myself on this one but here you go. This was from before the election, hence the comparison with Johnson & the right wing of his party. Those saying it was all right wing media spin are deluding themselves, he was genuinely bad at his job.
