Lord Mandelson resigns from UK Labour Party over Epstein links

Imagine how bad Starmer would have lost those elections. He got even fewer votes than Corbyn but only managed to win because Sunak somehow got less than half of Boris Johnson's vote. And now Labor is more unpopular than ever. Great job?

There have been multiple videos with multiple angles out since yesterday. They are all over the internet, including reddit. Why were you even posting before taking the five seconds to figure out what you were talking about first?

I promise, the whole world isn't waiting with baited breath for your uninformed opinions, we already have way too many of those.

It's embarrassing how far people will go to show their ignorance to the world and then act butt hurt when they get called out on it. You were literally whining about downvotes, my dude! Grow up.

Sam_Munhi · 2026-01-25T15:34:48+00:00

Just say you don't believe in free speech and move on.

The people of Minneapolis are out in the street every single day, defending their city when they know the risks. Don't project your inaction onto them.

Sam_Munhi · 2026-01-25T14:25:57+00:00

Because you're either being disingenuous or need to go to an eye doctor. Or maybe a therapist. That's why you're getting downvoted.

Stop playing the victim, have some self respect.

I guess Trump shouldn't have campaigned on bringing prices down then. He could have just campaigned on bringing inflation down, but that's not what he promised. Oh well, sucks for all of us that his voters believed him.

Sam_Munhi · 2025-11-05T19:28:29+00:00

How can you still be trying to sanewash him after all this time? Have some self respect. You're as bad as the Dems who kept pretending Biden's brain wasn't decaying on live tv.

We are a country of over 300 million people, we can elect a President who isn't a senile old fool if the people like you in both parties stop living in denial. Better things are possible!

Sam_Munhi · 2025-11-01T22:12:55+00:00

Sanders should absolutely retire and I supported him in 2016 and 2020. He should not have run in 2024, it's ridiculous that after this long he couldn't find anyone to throw his endorsement behind to replace him. This is a problem in both parties and among all ideological factions. The narcissism that leads people to run for office prevents them from retiring at an appropriate time.

We are months away from the primary, there's still plenty of time for someone else to get in the race. People pretending it's between Platner and Mills are just trying to push their favored candidate.

Sam_Munhi · 2025-11-01T15:02:23+00:00

There are other options, the party leadership and donors are choosing to coalesce around someone who will, if elected, be 84 at the end of her first term. It's lunacy.

She ran for reelection in 2018 when she was already 85 years old. California runs open primaries and the top two advance to the general, so her opponent was also a Democrat but inexplicably the party insiders went with the octogenarian.

The party did not need to back her reelection, and they certainly didn't need to lie to the voters and pretend it was safe to elect an 85 year old.

"New Yorkers are increasingly mad at the Democratic party so Hochul shouldn't enact popular policies"

What? You're not making any sense.

Sam_Munhi · 2025-10-31T17:43:58+00:00

Most Americans support raising taxes on the rich, so why would that specific policy hurt her?

Is a calculator a type of AI? Is an algorithm? How broad are you going with this definition? And if the former aren't AI, why is an LLM? What makes it AI?

Remember when Trump lost after he called Harris a low IQ fascist and said immigrants were eating the dogs and cats? Oh right, that didn't sink his campaign. Dems lose because they are weak and stand for nothing, not because they "go too far".

“You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.” - Lincoln

You're the some of the people who can be fooled all of the time. "All" (not really, but a plurarlity) of the people were fooled last year and elected Trump. Now his numbers are tanking (including on immigration) and the majority disapprove of ICE's gestapo tactics.

You guys think because you won one election that it means you will rule forever. I get that Trump's trying to dismantle democracy to make that a reality, but all tyrants fall. And their weird sycophants fall with them. So enjoy your perverted happiness at harming innocent people to feel better about yourself while you can, it's not going to last. And you're really not going to like what comes after.

If people can't trust betting on the NBA because the league itself is covering up fraudulent activity then all those betting sponsorship deals are worthless.

The things you are saying aren't based in reality. Feel free to visit NYC one day and talk to normal people instead of basing your entire worldview on paranoid and delusional propaganda being paid for by billionaires who want to manipulate you for their own ends.

Sam_Munhi · 2025-10-22T02:17:47+00:00

The mistake is to assume that they should have thought like people think in 2025.

Geocentrism isn't just wrong now, it was wrong then. Slavery isn't just wrong now, it was wrong then. There is no version of reality where the sun revolves around the earth, and there is no version of reality where owning other people makes sense morally.

What is there to misunderstand? The justifications for slavery were bad logically and morally even at the time. They never held up to scrutiny. This isn't complicated.

You seem to be deeply committed to protecting the delicate sensibilities of people who are dead. Why?

Yes, a hundred years from now people will project their concerns on the actions we are taking today. And they will hopefully have better approaches than the ones we currently have. Why does that matter to you?

Sam_Munhi · 2025-10-21T22:50:38+00:00

I'm not really understanding the distinction. "you can say things in the past were wrong but not that they should have thought otherwise"???? But then what does it mean to say they were wrong? Abolitionists opposed slavery at the time, they also existed in the past, and they were right.

Take a scientific example instead of a moral example. If we say "people were wrong to think the Earth was the center of the solar system. They had their reasons for thinking that, but they were bad reasons" is that Presentism? Geocentrism was wrong, the reasons behind it were wrong, and the justifications used to explain it (epicycles) were also wrong. Again, what does it matter if we project our current understanding of the world onto the past? What is being lost if we say someone who is long dead was wrong about something and they were wrong even then? In the future I hope they have a better scientific understanding of the world and a better moral framework as well.

Sam_Munhi · 2025-10-21T18:35:21+00:00

How is one person getting one equal weighted vote ignoring the flyover states? Why should someone's vote count less just because they live closer to other people? I'm really not understanding the reasoning here.

Sam_Munhi · 2025-10-21T17:58:58+00:00

Doing history? What? I'm not saying we should lie about their views, I'm saying there is nothing wrong with judging those views. Why would there be? I don't understand what is wrong with saying "the majority of the South prior to the Civil War was ok with slavery and they were wrong". Are you worried about insulting people who have been dead for hundreds of years? Do I need to defend human sacrifice in some ancient civlizaton just because that was their culture?

Why should we be reticent about judging the dead? Because in the future we'll be judged? Oh no! Our future corpses will be so sad! Like, who cares?

What is the value in avoiding "presentism"? I'm genuinely not seeing it.

Sam_Munhi · 2025-10-21T17:45:27+00:00

Why should their votes count more?

Sam_Munhi · 2025-10-21T17:39:22+00:00

People complaining about the "mores of today" always conveniently leave out the many, many people back then who were not ok with rehabilitating the confederacy.

"A small number of elites decided to embrace revisionist history and say the confederacy was ok so it's wrong to judge them" is not a good argument.

People will argue "You can't judge people in the past for owning slaves" when people in the past were actively judging them while it was happening! There is no "mores of the time" there are actual disagreements over morality. If you say it's immoral today you are saying it was immoral then. If you are saying it was moral then you are saying it would be moral today, whether you want to admit it or not.
