Some of those stats are wild.An interesting graphic showing where votes transferred between the first and second round;
The tweet is ignorant, indeed.The tweet is about Macron, indeed.
Moderate white supremacism describes Le Pen quite well. Anyone who thinks Macron stands for white supremacism is duly misinformed or a far left racist.Yeah, that's why it says "moderate".

Stating facts is "moderate white supremacy"?‘Islamo-leftism’: France enters its McCarthyist era
The French government’s ‘Islamo-leftism’ accusations against academia threaten academic freedom.www.aljazeera.com
Uh huh. Sure.
Hysterical scapegoating of academics and Muslims isn't stating facts.Stating facts is "moderate white supremacy"?
Now this is a spicy take. Macron, with no pushing, linked leftism with islam with terrorism to start justifying purges from academia. That is what the rest of us call racism and fascism.Stating facts is "moderate white supremacy"?
If the recent by-elections are anything to go by, maybe. Labour has ignored Tiverton and Honiton, and the LDs Wakefield. They've not gone so far as pulling their candidates, but they have conspicuously declined to meaningfully campaign in each other's targets. This of course may be deliberate, because if voters suspect too much of a stitch-up, it could potentially backfire.Please, let this be a message to the British left as well as the French, that the road to success is in electoral cooperation and pact-forming.

I don't. Firstly, it's trivial - this isn't significantly bullying Corbyn at all. Not least because it's kind of true.Blech, I fucking despair.
"Bullying" is a bit much maybe, but it's still pointlessly poking wounds likely to create yet more internal alienation and infighting.I don't. Firstly, it's trivial - this isn't significantly bullying Corbyn at all. Not least because it's kind of true.
The fact is that Corbyn was a leader who had such flaws that he ended up a massive electoral liability to his own party and policies, which is part of why his successor so vigorously repudiates him.
From what the clip suggests, this term "Conservative Corbyn" came from the Tories, a phrase some brought up to damn their own party leader. It's catchy and apt - why not throw it at Johnson? Should it have to be abandoned because the Corbynistas see criticism of their leader?"Bullying" is a bit much maybe, but it's still pointlessly poking wounds likely to create yet more internal alienation and infighting.
It is a criticism of Corbyn alongside one of Johnson; that's not just what fanatics have seen, that's clearly the intent. 'Johnson is bad because he's like Corbyn' is the meaning.From what the clip suggests, this term "Conservative Corbyn" came from the Tories, a phrase some brought up to damn their own party leader.

Honestly, I think Starmer's intent was about 99% highlighting internal Tory division and lack of confidence in Johnson. It is after all damning because of the context of what Tories think about Jeremy Corbyn, not anyone else.I suppose you could generously interpret Starmer's intent as merely being to highlight internal Tory division, rather than signal-boosting the criticism itself.
