And of course you are not alone. There are loads of past Labour supporters all now in exactly that same mindset. Even the actual Labour MPs who don't expect to win, plan to oust Corbyn at the first opportunity.
The old concept of Labour was lost a long time ago. BLiar came in and changed all that duping Labour supporters to get into power and then demonstrating that his New Labour party was little different to the Tories. The Iraq war was a disaster. We are now reaping the repercussions of that political era.
The populous will never again trust "Labour" whatever fanciful definition you apply to it.
That is why a completely new party needs to arise from the ashes of Labour's demise now. Unfortunately they dilly dallied, wasting too much time on fighting Corbyn and moaning and groaning and now an election is imminent so they haven't had time to form any new kind of party. Teresa May absolutely pulled the rug from under their sleeping feet by having the election quickly.
It will be a catastrophic result for Labour and for a lot of Labour MPs. It will be interesting in the aftermath to see what new party forms to fill the gap.
RIP Loony Labour
