That statement so accurately demonstrates the 'morass'.
DanaC's 'zionist' example further exemplifies this problem, in part, because so many want soundbyte answers. 'Zionism' now must be followed by many paragraphs delineating which 'zionism' word is being used. The actual word or a perversion now promoted by extremists?
Extremists so pervert so many words that NYC did not want the word Freedom on their new WTC building. The word 'Freedom' has been perverted like the expression "French Fries" once was (because France so accurately identified George Jr as lying about Saddam's WMDs).
Remember, it was never about liberals verses conservatives. It has been about extremists verses moderates. Extremist conservatives blame (invent) extremists liberals so as to not admit to the existence of their real enemy: honest people - moderates.
Extremists who want to "wreck shit" will even subvert the meaning of what was once an obvious word - zionism. And so we now have anti-semitism promoted everywhere - even where it normally would not exist. And worse. Even condoned in Charlottesville NC by a racist American president.
Corbyn's lack of leadership (a desire for power instead of leadership) explains this 'morass' that the Labour party now finds itself.
