It's important to remember these people are the nutters though. There are plenty of moderate people on the left and the right that look at these people and think they're mad. We shouldn't let discussions be framed by the most extreme elements or we'll become like America where no political discourse is possible without being hating each other.
I think Cohen is right but also a bit melodramatic. He is right the Labour party has currently been hijacked by these people, although in fairness Corbyn doesn't appear to share the hatred which infests some of his supporters, but he is wrong to 'leave the left' because of it. There are plenty of people on the left who don't share the views of these social media warriors.
I said this in the other thread but I don't like the way this trend is going in the UK. Everyone seems to be getting angrier and thinking evil of their political opponents.
