For sure - the left of the party is where the harshest criticisms come from. I guess I find the constant Corbyn vs Starmer stuff problematic as it divides the party in an unhealthy way (leaders). Internal division around political ideas is completely different (imho), and ultimately necessary (if not healthy) less Labour become another neo-liberal pet project.
I'm on the left, and am currently a soft-supporter of Starmer. However, I love taking the piss out of him and think he's a bit of prick. It's a tough life.
I think it becomes that way because Corbyn supporters seem to be his biggest critics - I've not really heard any criticism of Starmer (other than from actual Tories, who just criticise labour generally) other than from people who seem to be Corbyn supporters. But I'm not trying to suggest all Corbyn supporters are anti Starmer and sorry if it came across that way.
I get your point about reasons people might support Corbyn despite ratings, but it does jar to me that people are laying into Starmer for his, that's all.
