Random Integer posted:Jess Phillips was so electable so she had to withdraw from an election because it was so blindingly obvious she wouldn't win. Amazing that anyone could think she is the answer to anything at all, even the most broke brained centrist. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/jan/21/jess-phillips-realises-folly-of-speaking-truth-to-out-of-power-john-crace This is poo poo even for Crace Why is everyone just overlooking the fact that; 1. She just *gave up* instead of actually losing any votes or being rejected by Labour voters (even if this was extremely likely) 2. She clearly had no plan of how to actually win the leadership election after trashing the membership (the people she needed to vote for her) and clearly not having put any effort into preparation or getting a trade union on board Did anyone from a local party have anyone from the Jess Phillips campaign get in touch? We did from the Starmer and RLB campaign but no-one else.

ThomasPaine posted:God loving drat I hope RLB wins this, I'm very concerned that Starmer might just edge it and if he does we lose years of progress It probably (not definitely!) will be Starmer and yeah it sucks, but don't see it as losing progress poo poo doesn't work that way, it's not an Ubisoft game where each icon we knock off gets us closer to the magic 100% and Starmer is going back to an older save. There is no magic 100% that saves the country just as there is no world that Corbynism didn't happen in. I despise that second-ref pushing little prick as much as anyone but it's not the end of the game if he wins. It is a really good time to start getting involved in your constituency party though the weak poo poo Starmer would do needs people in the local org pointing out how weak poo poo it is. The establishment wants you to be rundown and have no morale right now so the left can be neutered again, don't do them any favours.

She just *gave up* instead of actually losing any votes or being rejected by Labour voters (even if this was extremely likely) Getting defeated is long-term more damning than technically choosing to step down for X honourable reason, Crace is absolutely pathetic for pretending he can't intuit that. I hate these loving liberals, the dumb-dumb line isn't credible any more, going forward every drop of blood is on their hands equal to the tories. MikeCrotch posted:2. She clearly had no plan of how to actually win the leadership election after trashing the membership (the people she needed to vote for her) and clearly not having put any effort into preparation or getting a trade union on board She expected the media to manufacture a landslide for her, Starmer was a safer bet for a pliant Labour leader so they didn't. Can't blame her honestly it wasn't a stupid roll of the dice.

I dunno if it'll work, but you could try turning the phone off, then holding the power button while holding volume up (or it might be down think it depends) until you get the boot menu. Then use the volume buttons to jump through the menu til you see Recovery Mode, and tap the power button to select it. Then go down to Wipe Cache Partition and do that Could be that your memory's just gone bad though and short of extreme janitoring there's not a lot you can do about that

Debbie Does Dagon posted:Jess did a Q&A on Mumsnet and was pretty right-on about trans people being allowed to breathe and exist, which I'm sure pissed them all off There is an absolutely amazing thread on Mumsnet where they discovered that transgender porn exists, which is something that was apparently a big shock to them despite there being porn of everything ever. Lots of frantic talk about sending it to their MPs and “blowing this thing wide open” as if they had discovered some massive conspiracy. Absolutely baffling.

I really wonder how liberals square the circle of the coalition. Because like, clearly they're compatible with the tories, apart from, currently, brexit, for largely aesthetic reasons, being as they supported it in coalition and in the 2015 manifesto. So what sets them apart, in their mind, I wonder?

Ms Adequate posted:I assume they think it's some kind of trans conspiracy to corrupt the kids and ruin honest cishetero porn rather than... people who find trans people hot for one reason or another. Pretty much. They discussed and agreed with a blog where the author had “evidence” of exactly that. This evidence consisted of two heavily cherry picked lists of videos from Pornhub, one cis and one trans. The cis list was comprised of extremely degrading and borderline violent videos (the kind of stuff you really have to go out of your way to find), and the trans list was lot more vanilla with romantic leanings. This supposedly exposed a massive effort by Pornhub to displace cis women with trans women by normalising violence against the former and encouraging love and tenderness with the latter. In addition according to the mumsnetters, the only reason a man would have sex with a trans woman is because he is conditioned toward sexual violence, and violence is often associated with masculinity, therefore the only way he can get off is to have anal sex with someone with the same genitals. As opposed to the more obvious reason that if a cis man and trans woman have the same plumbing down below your options for penetrative sex are rather limited. As usual with Mumsnet they ignore both the existence of trans men, and that hetero cis couples also partake in butt stuff. Absolute madness.

Also a lot of the social media poo poo in the UK against gender neutral bathrooms and that is getting more explicitly homophobic instead/as well as transphobic now. Not sure if this is that 'hands across the aisle' poo poo in action or whether it's just trash people continuing to be trash, or whether someone else has managed to include a whole new group of awful shits in the debate.

There is a hilariously whiny PB piece about this - the guy running it is a Lib Dem - the premise of which is 'Why won't Labour members realise they need to change as the electorate won't'. This of course completely ignores the fact in this instance the Labour members are the electorate. Surely it cuts both ways.
