I did a thing. I think once my partner and I are over the trauma of the miscarriage we will try again, and I really don’t want our offspring to grow up in a Tory hellscape. Every bit helps right?

forkboy84 posted:What other outlets were giving Jeremy Corbyn airtime incidentally? Oh, that's right, before 2015 exactly gently caress all of them. You go where you can to get a platform to put your views out. That's not an excuse. If he'd gladly appeared in The Sun we'd rightly be excoriating him over it. There's no acceptable reason to appear on a propaganda network for a fascist dictatorship except maybe to challenge that regime, which Corbyn wasn't. There were probably quite a few left-wingers who saw Corbyn on there and thought that maybe RT wasn't that bad after all.

Josef bugman posted:However the problem is that, instead of standing around and going "oh dear" there is something you can do. Have an arguement. If you think Corbyn should eventually step down then I wouldn't say I am against it, but have an answer to obvious questions "like whom" and "how does this prevent the right from just taking over Labour again" and the final one "And how do you think this would actually improve things"? And the argument I am making is that when, not if, Corbyn steps down, we should replace him with someone broadly similar. He has done his job; it has worked, more of the same please. The replacement does no really need to be better, to lack some defect he has. We shouldn’t say ‘walking boots have failed, it is time for Crocs’ They just need to not have had their welcome with the public worn out.

Gonzo McFee posted:https://twitter.com/Jamie4North/status/1179431655121010688?s=19 Sorry is he saying the clip was edited so that “which is worse, would you say A or B?” “B” is turned into just “would you say A or B”? Re Corbyn and electability: there are three hypotheses and nobody knows which is correct: 1. Corbs is an electoral asset and will win an election for labour despite polling badly (pick your reason: biased polls, lying voters etc) 2. Corbs is an electoral liability but it would be worse to change leaders going into an election 3 Corbs is an electoral liability and we should change him before the next election. Since changing leaders looks weak and the electorate despise weakness more than almost anything else, I think the sensible thing is to stick with him. E: final thought, maybe the path to socialism really is someone who comes across like Blair and then pulls off the mask moments after being confirmed by the Queen as PM and declares a radical agenda, like that Simpsons Russia->USSR scene. (Or more plausibly, implements an ostensibly moderate agenda in the most radical way possible). But it’s still worth trying to do it openly with a proper mandate first.

He has done his job; it has worked, more of the same please. radmonger, just a couple of pages ago posted:Obviously Labour can’t afford a leadership change now, let alone a contest. But when the opportunity arises, it should be taken. And before the Bell cartoon of all the Tory leaders Corbyn has been in opposition to acquires too many more panels. So when you said Labour should take the opportunity for a leadership change when it arises, you meant that they should hold a ballot when Corbyn steps down? All that waffling about boots boils down to "we should elect a new leader when the current one quits"?

marktheando posted:Normally true but this next general election will be all about Brexit. What's hilarious is that the papers have locked themselves into a death spiral of single issue brexit, just as Labour have maneuvred themselves into the only realistic brexit position (take no deal off the table then let the people decide between their deal and remain). The only other issue being austerity, on which the Tory party's record is blisteringly toxic. The only problem is that at the moment, a lot of melts are directing that "guess we have to" energy at the lib dems because they are swallowing the Corbyn unelectability garbage hook line and sinker, and those dumb fucks are splitting the vote.

Terry Pratchett's thing about boots is the UKMT equivalent of centrist twitter being obsessed with Harry Potter I guessBobby Deluxe posted:The other thing to bear in mind with polls about leader popularity is the stunning capacity of the average voter to say things like "Well of course I don't want him in power, but we have to because of this single issue that's been hyped up." Corbyn has always polled terribly as best PM, even in 2017 when Labour did well, it's true. So fair enough to ignore that. It's the Labour vote share compared to the tories I'm more worried about. And those numbers only moving a very small amount as Boris does incredibly stupid insane things and pursues no deal brexit.
