This minimises how badly he's hated for other reasons. It doesn't just stop at antisemitism.
And if that was all he did he wouldn't be as disruptive as he was, instead he was ok being incredibly lazy with his own shadow cabinet and preferred letting Labor politicians who weren't in his faction lose then add more votes, he was a politician who preferred party before country. His rivals in the party may have signed onto the Iraq War but that wasn't why they disliked him so much. His mismanagement and alienating style of leadership was far more divisive then the Iraq war stance. "Blairities" is the wrong term to use since Blaire left years ago - he wasn't their secret leader, it wasn't just one faction against Corbyn it was several. The Corbyn backers relied on terms like that to make it a binary stitiuion, when it was more complicated as a matter of politics.Corbyn's ideas and platform included reckoning with the Empire. Likewise, Corbyn was a vocal opponent of the Iraq War and the Labour Government of Tony Blair's handmaiden role in that conflict and a good chunk of his inner-party enemies were Blairites who backed the Iraq War.
Except it wasn't those people who signed up with Brexit, but many leftists did. It's been documented how Corbyn is a Euro-skeptic for years and his defense against Breixt is a punch line. He hates NATO.The Iraq War was far more destructive to UK politics than US politics, precisely because the Labour government, the Left party openly and stupidly backed W.'s drive to war. That single decision is the source of all its woes. No Iraq, no Brexit.

There's his controversial stance against the UK have nuclear weapons and not using them and his bizarre take about the Russian poisonings that gave Russia cover. All there of these are opinions alienate Labor voters by themselves, you don't need to get into antiseimitism or the Iraq war for that. He's such a bad leader.
I didn't bring up Corbyn at random, he's an ally of Bernie Sanders and he lost just before the '16 American elections.If not Corbyn, people would bring up George McGovern or Henry Wallace or other quite radical political figures who tend to not make it for fears of electability.

Bernie didn't have too lose as badly as Corbyn did but there were far more weaknesses for less turnout with him at there helm than Biden was and that's not getting into how disgracefully Corbyn lost the second election. He broke records in electoral defeat.Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) heaped praise on Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn this week, saying he was "impressed" by the U.K. candidate's willingness to talk about class issues.
“I am also impressed by his willingness to talk about class issues,” the former Democratic presidential candidate said Thursday during a U.K. speaking tour promoting his book.
“Too many people run away from the grotesque levels of income and wealth inequality that exist in the United States, the UK and all over the world," Sanders said.
"We will never make the kind of changes we need unless we take on the levels of inequality that exist."
Sanders pointed out similarities between anti-establishment movements that he and Corbyn have pushed.
“What has impressed me – and there is a real similarity between what he has done and what I did – is he has taken on the establishment of the Labour Party, he has gone to the grassroots and he has tried to transform that party … and that is exactly what I am trying to do,” Sanders said.
You're not listening to what I'm saying. If Bernie sanders had said that Castro comment in the presidential Trump would have had 4 more years. The ideas that candidates shouldn't have the self awareness to grow is baffling, the left is suppose to be all about this concept. Humility and responsibility aren't just words, they must be followed others why should we trust our leaders? And why are you deflecting when we're analysing Bernie? Biden won, Bernie didn't. This is about increasing the odds of winning, and doing things like praising Castro is a death knell for a campign - it could be argued that that move was a fatal blow to his campaign on Super Tuesday. He was the front runner for a while and he was unable to maintain that lead, that's on Bernie. Biden had his own problems.But fundamentally, as Lichtman has shown, elections are about the Incumbent and not the candidate and the campaign. HRC could have run in 2020 and won against Trump. I am not saying Biden was a bad candidate or he ran a bad campaign or anything just that you can run the best campaign in the world and still come up short if the odds aren't entirely with you.
Biden had far more room than Bernie did with Florida. Biden also has a stronger relationship with the black voting bloc than Bernie does, in general and in the south. Did Bernie choosing to be in Michigan rather than be there for the anniversary of Bloody Sunday a good decision in your eyes? To me that was a massive mistake, especially when running for president. I think you underestimate how badly left dictatorships are hated in the Democratic party and for good reasons. Do you think the American public love Castro?If Bernie runs, he probably doesn't take Florida. But then neither did Biden. I don't think anti-Castro sentiment is such a hard thing to overcome on the national level.
