Sanders voters were more likely to vote for Clinton than Clinton voters were for Obama and they still blamed it on the left picking up it's ball and taking it home.

Their reactions have been beautifully telling though.

Like how even they knew they hosed up when the most praise they could heap on Biden after a media performance was "he sounded so lucid and coherent there". Or when they immediately and quietly gave up on #MeToo when accusations against Biden emerged. When you're at the point where your big argument is "if the only options are rapists then vote for the rapist with the best policies" and you can even specify what those policies are, you're absolutely loving done with reality.

I hope they shelve Biden for Hillary at the DNC though. It would be so satisfying to watch her weird fans eat poo poo again.

Honestly at the rate Joe is declining I don't think shelving him will be optional. It is honestly difficult to believe they have swung behind him of all possible people

Pence might be worth a small bet at 50-1. Going into an election with the incumbent and challenger both in their 70s during a pandemic that hits the elderly hard has to make for an interesting contest. Especially since the Great Orange One makes a point about deliberately not following medical advice.

KartooshFace, you are not responding efficiently!

Sunak:

"That has actually influenced some of the design choices we’ve made.

That means some people might fall between through the cracks, it means people are saying, ‘Can you not do it this way, can you include us?’, and the reason we’ve not been able to do that is to protect against exactly that, exactly the risk of fraud or spurious claims that we won’t be able to verify.

So I’m confident the decisions we’ve made will minimise the risk of fraud."

Rage. No words. Just rage.

Edit for words: I don't think this is even saying the quiet part loud anymore. Literally "no we're not helping you in case someone gets away with something" :argh:

I'm guessing there's official guidance to editors not to have headlines about the death count, probably on the basis that it'd cause a panic.

That it also makes the government look better is a weird bonus that nobody could have predicted.

It is not useful to the state to have people panic about a thousand dead per day. It is useful to the state to have people panic about one or two people being stabbed by bearded people in a year.

Go placidly amid the noise and haste...

We will look back on this period of history seeing that the neoliberal right utterly failed to check the growth of the populist right, leading to the normalisation of extremes of racism, incompetence and vicious amoral destructive policies. While the neoliberal center left successfully held off the radical left from riding that zeitgeist for change and enacting popular and moral policies: through a combination of constructed media narratives, institutional control, respectability politics, weaponized wokeness, and self-defeating flagellation played out in the press. Leading to a continually rising right and a further weakened 'center-left' who have no vision of what they would do with power even if they could attain it.

‘It is the peculiar quality of a fool to perceive the faults of others and forget his own’, said Cicero. This is so true of the woke bourgeoise who bang on endlessly about ‘Karens’. You know Karens: they’re the busybody, always-complaining, helmet-haired women who stalk the nightmares of sophisticated middle-class people, especially the right-on millennial middle classes. These people are constantly making memes of Karens, showing culturally and sartorially inferior women asking for the manager and generally making a fuss about everything. Which is hilariously ironic given that ‘Karen’-like behaviour – snitching to management, trying to get people sacked, moaning endlessly about every inconvenience – is the stock-in-trade of woke millennials. These Karen-bashers are the biggest Karens of all.

Has anyone been following this "Forward Momentum" stuff?

I mean yeah, clearly what the left needs right now is a pressure group inside a pressure group. But on the other hand Momentum have really hosed up hard recently, failing to swing people behind their slate for the NEC let alone RLB for leader.

To be honest Momentum (and I'm a member) have been kind of a let-down. I always envisaged some kind of community organising and volunteering base, going around in Momentum/Labour T-shirts going objectively nice things for people so that at the next election they might not think nobody cares about them.

Instead it ended up being a constant battle to try and defend Corbyn against his own party, with Lansman basically using Momentum as his personal bloc vote. Hmm. Maybe things can change?

I think we honestly might do that this year; it was very uncomfortable last year when we were only in the flat after work, and it seems likely we'll still be working from home this summer.
lol 'a few days per year' == probably every day from May until September. We have a unit with an exhaust host already but it's extremely old and cranky. From skimming that video it seems like our best option would be to get a dual-hose unit but loving hell, ~£600+ is a lot to spend on a big noisy box to make cold

If you're using air con daily for four months a year, it might be worth looking at having a split unit professionally installed. It would be more expensive than £600 for a duel-hose portable, but a lot more efficient/quiet/effective/convenient/space-saving/etc.

That's pretty much 100% what the ForwardMomentum reorganisation/rebrand is going to wind up doing, although they won't just be helping people they'll be helping 'the left' so it'll be campaign support and participation rather than volunteer charity work.
