So people should just stand by and watch Donald Trump f*ck over the entire world? Huh?

That is one man's opinion, though. And in the article it quotes Jeremy Corbyn saying multiple times that the Labour party won't stand for anti-Semitism. 

What im trying to say is, he hasn't (well publicly) doubted his presidency yet. He hasn't backed down from anything, and we're halfway through the first year. I will fully understand peoples anger to publicly bash him but at the same time, it's not gonna change anything tbh.

I really don't get your point. So you're basically saying everyone should shut up and stop complaining about Trump's lies, slander, and horrific policies because "it's not going to change anything"?

It's called being politically engaged. And we need more of it, not less of it.

I feel like you're not actually understand the point I am making, i can't be bothered arguing about it, too much effort

That's because your point is ridiculous and you know it.

And its the younger generation that need to be more woke.

For anyone who doesn't know Jeremy Corbyn is the leader of the Labour party in the UK. He is basically the polar opposite of Trump. And as you can see from the video (which is worth a watch in its entirety), he has engaged many young people in politics and is becoming a real threat to the Conservative party

I would laugh, but look at the election results.

Nevertheless Labour would have done much better if they had a more electable candidate.

Exactly. How anyone can say "there's nothing we can do about it" is beyond me. Trump needs to be exposed for the corrupt, bigoted liar that he is, so that we get one step closer to seeing him impeached. People CAN affect change and starting a dialogue about everything that's wrong in the world is the only way to do it.

Corbyn has overtaken May in the polls for the preferred PM. So yeah, there's that.

Yes, but May is in the pits. Previously Corbyn had practically no chance to win an election and his own party insiders were trying to dump him (they were foiled by an enthusiastic 'grassroots' movement). His relative popularity at this moment is due to the terrible decisions of the Tories.

I don't think Corbyn would be a good leader for Britain.  I'm also not sure he would win an election against a fresh candidate.

He's compared to Bernie a lot, but Americans should be aware that he's FAR more left wing.

I don't think his popularity is a result of the Tories' terrible decisions (or, at least, not entirely). He has engaged thousands of people in rallies, he put forward a fully costed manifesto, he creates policies that truly benefit the poor and disadvantaged without any loopholes, and he wants to bring an end to the era of austerity. This is what many people want, it's why Labour gained 30+ seats in the election. The Tories couldn't have caused that based solely on their ineptitude. 

To be honest, I don't think this is Corbyn's time. With Trump as president, and Brexit about to happen, he may not be the right man for the job. But once we are out of this era of hellish political turmoil, I think the public will want to bring about genuine change and I think Corbyn would be a valid alternative. He may have many far-left views, but I question how much of an impact these views will have among a party with so many Blairites and centralists.

Disagree with the bolded. First Brexit and now the strong and stable minority  not to mention Grenfell!

 

But take a closer look at a Corbyn rally and its limits are apparent. The crowd is mainly young; much of Labour’s recent surge comes from a rise in support among young voters, from an average of 43% in mid-April to 57% now. The snag is that they may not vote in the numbers expected by some pollsters (see article). Backing among the elderly, who turn out like clockwork, has risen by just four points, to 19%. “I will take the surge seriously if Labour’s doing better with the over-65s,” says Andrew Harrop, head of the Fabian Society, a centrist Labour think-tank.
