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

In my experience it's been a rerun of the Brexit campaign - just substitute Labour supporters for Remain supporters - loudly declaring that anyone NOT voting the same way as them is thick/racist/a bigot etc etc. The Conservative /Leave supporters keep mostly quiet, but turns out they are the majority. Deja vu, anyone?

Social Metrics Commission is a non partisan group who want a clearer definition of poverty.
Commissioners include representatives of the JRF, IFS and academics.

I think there is a reasonable chance they know what they are talking about.

I posted Full Fact analysis already and it doesn’t quite say what you want.

I think I would prefer a bunch of shouty, overzealous blue-haired students to an overgrown public schoolboy with a track record of blatant lying and a crew of coke-sniffing racists who have now decided to call themselves The People's Government.

If they go on your page to shove their opinions down your throat they are unreasonable and kind of crazy to be honest.
If they post self-righteous posts on their own page,it is their right. Just like it is your right to post that Labour voters are deluded.
