AIBU?
Fed up of labour voters righteousness

The amount of people I’ve seen on social media say -
I’m voting labour because I don’t hate poor people / disabled people / the elderly etc
I’m just fed up of it
It’s as bad as children’s charities saying that if you don’t donate then you obviously condone child abuse.
No, it doesn’t mean I hate poor people or the disabled or the wealthy.
You don’t get this from the LIb Dems supporters, or Green Party Supporters or Tories
Am I being unreasonable?
AIBUYou have one vote. All votes are anonymous.

I had to delete one FB friend who was quite aggressive about her political stance and how everyone should support labour. She was demanding to know who her friends were voting for and chastising anyone who voted differently. If you didn’t say, you’d be accused of voting Tories and harangued, with memes; gifs and articles posted every minute.
I just couldn’t hack it anymore. She’s not a real life friend, just on FB - so I in-friended. Feel much better now.

I was struggling up to the last minute today on who to pick. Reading the endless tory bashing threads by labour supporters made me decide I couldnt associate with myself with such small minded and abusive group of people (also on all other social media, tv, radio call ins etc) that I voted green. I know a few in my friendship group and family who have done the same.

I’d got so fed up with the way labour voters were behaving and have found it so completely disgusting I was fully prepared to vote Tory. Honestly the self righteous, argumentative, childish, bullying I’ve seen from labour voters makes me think they don’t bloody deserve all the support they’d get from a labour government.
I couldn’t do it though and went Lib Dem instead 👍🏻

See? Exactly Moonlight look how tedious..
I didn't vote Conservative, Lib Dem or Labour or anything dodgy like Brexit Party. The reason I didn't vote Tory? Does it need any explanation? I couldn't have voted Labour though. Corbyn (in my opinion) is in cloud cuckoo land with all that he's promised. The numbers do not stack up.
I'm not middle class by a long shot but I do have a brain and independent thought. I wonder if labour voters had concentrated on providing good arguments as to why I should vote for the party instead of spewing bile I might have thought differently.
