i hate the myth that farron only thought gay people are disgusting while voting for pro-LGBT legislation. No he didn't, he thinks gay people are disgusting and mostly votes that way too. This is a myth propagated by the guardian who are desperate to vote for the lib dems

He spent a good year dodging giving a straight answer to "do you think homosexuality is a sin?", then he finally gave an answer no which was completely unconvincing and then after the much talked about Lib Dem fightback never happened despite being the only major national party to support staying in the EU, he resigned and he moaned how bad it was that no one tolerated his bigotry. Lib Dems are a tremendous punchline and useful reminder that liberalism is a brain parasite.

I just hate the fact that he was such a weasel about it, if it really mattered to him he should have said "I don't believe homosexuality is compatible with Christianity but i'm not going to let that overshadow the responsibility I have to my LGBT constituents" Instead he lied repeatedly, quit in a huff after a terrible loving showing in the election and cried about how he was being bullied for all the things he said and did

Guardian: Oh poo poo! Its an actual progressive and he's advocating all the stuff our terrible opinion writers have been asking for for the past 4 years! We can't support him, that would be stalinism! Oh thank gently caress, the Lib Dems have a new leader since we got in trouble for supporting Clegg last time. Whats his name? I...Is that a baby in a suit? Who cares! Lib dems are sensible, more sensible than PUBLIC TRAINS!!!! Tim Farron: I hate gay frogs Guardian: Uhhh... no he doesn't! Tom Farron: Yes I do, gay frogs are sinful, like all of us. We are all writhing with sin which is why we can't have anything nice. Guardian: We all agree with you that nobody should really get anything nice, but are you sure you don't mean you hate the sin but not the sinner? *elbows Farron extremely hard under the table* Tim Farone: Ouch! No I hate the frog and the gay sex! Stop oppressing me! White male christians are the most oppressed class in this country! I'm in the running for the first Christian PM of the UK! Guardian: poo poo he's a lunatic, okay, we'll support the loving maniac leninist then. Corbyn: Bombing people abroad causes terrorism at home. Fund the welfare state to stop people dying. Guardian: Ugh, trapped between lunatics... when will someone cater to the Sensible Middle.

He thinks he's going to win this one too and doesn't care if he doesn't imo.Fallen Hamprince posted:i can appreciate the Liberalism inherent in simultaneously believing gay sex to be morally wrong while opposing any legislation discouraging it but it's kind of a bad fit for the party that's trying to be the socially liberal fiscally conservative-ish third party

Lightning Lord posted:Did voting Lib Dem make sense when Labour was Blairite because Yeah. When Blair was being an authoritarian, warmongering dickhead, the Lib Dems under Charles Kennedy - an actually decent person, despite his liberalism - made a lot more sense. Now they're just a dying rump party, and good riddance

Lightning Lord posted:Did voting Lib Dem make sense when Labour was Blairite because Yeah, the Lib Dems were better than Labour on a lot of stuff, namely education, the Iraq war and were opposed to all the nasty authoritarian poo poo New Labour got up to in its bid to win over Sun readers. Turns out when you poo poo on all that after telling lies  and an actual left wing alternative comes up, there aren't actually that many people in the country attracted to pure ideological liberalism.

Lightning Lord posted:Did voting Lib Dem make sense when Labour was Blairite because The Lib Dems successfully positioned themselves as to the left of Labour post Iraq War vote until Kennedy got punted. There was little between the social liberalism of Kennedy and Blair on economics, so with Labour acting as America's lackey abroad and their appalling record on social issues like surveillance, detention without trial, ID cards, tuition fees, it was really easy to justify voting Lib Dem in 2005. Less so in 2010 when the Tories were clearly looking less shambolic. Unfortunately that meant people like Danny Alexander getting elected but nobody was really aware of the Orange Bookers at that point.

I remember seeing a news item in the mid 00s where the BBC went around a lib Dem conference and asked the attendees to place the parties from left to right and every one of them had the lib Dems well to the left of labour lol Funny how these things pan out

Seems a pretty reasonable take for the Blair years tbh, post-2003 new labour was an authoritarian shitshow, all the worst things about the Cameron years were just Blair But More So. edit: In fact, if memory serves Cameron managed to come across as softer and cuddlier than Blair at one point by being less of an overt oval office to working class youths, the mid to late 00s were weird time to be young TomViolence has issued a correction as of 18:35 on Jan 11, 2018 |

This was part of a stand-up routine so I'm guessing it's either exaggerated or entirely made up, but I'd like to believe it's the case.

The old 2005-10ish days of everyone getting shitfaced and fighting constantly are long gone. Now that I’m decisively in my mid 20s (  ) I hardly ever drink these days. Nor do a bunch of my friends. In fact there is a couple in my friend group that will just stay in by themselves and get smashed on wine and vodka redbulls and it’s extremely weird.
