the neoliberal narrative coming out of this election will be that May lost, rather than Corbyn winning, because he's an unelectable socialist and if we'd had a strong common sense centrist as party leader labour would have won even harder now isn't it time for another leadership challenge

Honestly seeing bernie bros complain about a few mean emails and discussion of possible smears that were never actually used was just hilarious if you were keeping up with what Corbyn was dealing with at the time

the only difference is that Corbyn won; Dems would have done the exact same poo poo if they thought Bernie was actually going to win the primary

mass protests technically aren't illegal in the US but they never happen because the police just gas and arrest a third of the people who show up to one

excepting the extremely boring ones like the women's march and march for science

I'd be really curious how they define abusive tweets because MPs themselves have been claiming "twitter guy telling me my politics are poo poo" as abuse for a while now

I've not read the full thing but the researchers said that because deleted / suspended tweets can't be accessed they assume their figures are an understatement https://medium.com/@AmnestyInsights/unsocial-media-tracking-twitter-abuse-against-women-mps-fc28aeca498a

The full methodology is here as well https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3bg_SJKE9GOenpaekZ4eXRBWk0/view

so i'm not a statistics researcher but

quote:

The true positive rate, i.e. the tweets labelled as abusive by the model that are truly abusive,
is around 64%. The remaining tweets are false positives, i.e. not truly abusive. This means
that we expect the number of truly abusive tweets within the 25,688 tweets to be 16,440 (=
0.64 X 25,688 ).
However, a large number of abusive tweets are not captured by the model. Only about 44%
of truly abusive tweets are detected and the rest are false negatives, i.e. tweets not labelled
as abusive but are truly abusive. This means that our estimate of the actual number of
abusive tweets out of the 900 223 total number of tweets is around 37 364 truly abusive
tweets (= 16,440 / 0.44)). For the purpose of this publication, we have used the 25,688 figure.



their methodology seems to have returned some really useless data, which they used anyway? idk
