THS posted:i enjoyed reading this post a lot, and i have a related THEORY that i think can contribute to this, which is, and i was just looking this up today - and i already knew leaded gasoline in the US was common until the late 80s - but did you know it was the same thing for the UK? everyone was huffing atmospheric lead for decades there too. anyway, all the older people have literal metal poisoning in their brains oh yeah absolutely lol its likely maybe correlative, but also maybe lead should be classified as an inorganic brain parasite that creates the social conditions most ideal for its future promulgation in human hosts

This is hella demoralizing  But the important thing is to not roll over and wait for death. You can do politics outside of parliament. Now, more than ever, people are going to need to help each other because God knows the tories won't.

What's the smart word on when Brexit will Get Done? Not just signing the paper that says you're out, but signing all the trade deals and whatever needs to be done after that. I'm assuming it won't happen in the next 5 years, because there is absolutely no way Boris or whatever idiot he appoints will be able to successfully negotiate any WTO trade deals, and by the time the UK could feasibly be considered a sovereign nation, Scotland and NI should have peaced out. It seems super obvious to me that Corbyn would actually have gotten it done faster even if his second referendum came up Leave. Am I the crazy one?

Why is everything so lovely, why do people like Ian Austin even exist? Do we get the report on Russian money in the Tory party released now? Or does that just get swept under the carpet? Rebecca Long-Bailey for next Labour leader?

also, if you're gonna do FPTP voting, do it in 2 rounds unless someone had 50%+ in the first, probably. we select our president in two rounds since it's a FPTP deal, and our president performs incredibly important functions such as *checks notes* shaking people's hands at celebrations and visiting opening ceremonies. surely something as important as "are we all going to die" would warrant another vote lol
