Brits had two chances to elect Corbyn. They chose Johnson. Johnson is bungling the Coronavirus. It kills old people, who elected him. If he really bungles it, it could be millions and so far he's really bungling it.
My sympathy is real, but limited. You did have two chances.

I think, to be fair, that social democrats have been totally unable to present a compelling election platform for decades now.
It's kind of absurd, since social democratic govts have generally governed through prosperous years, but somehow they can't do elections right.
Replying to
obviously true.
Still, voters have responsibilities and they are about to discover what happens when they fail those responsibilities.
As I say, I do have sympathy, but it is limited and I say that as someone who is moderate risk of dying.

It is rather on the nose that this thing kills old people in droves, more men than women (about 2%) and requires coordinated social action and a well-staffed social sector if you want to avoid the worst losses.
