learnincurve posted:We need an age cap. If your average life expectancy means you probably won't last a full term, then you don't get a vote. Sensible older people will see the logic, it will be the OLD, LOUD, AND FRIGHTENED who kick off about it and they are exactly the people we want to exclude. Boomer generation are now firmly in this category. After Brexit and Trump's election, I genuinely want an age cap. It's bullshit that these people will die in five or ten years, but they get to gently caress over the next generations one last time before they go. Also, the story of your nan is horrifying.

It makes me mad that the Tories ate up all of the UKIP vote, but the mildly social democratic / centrist Liberal Democrats continue to dick around and spoil things for Labour.

Vitamin P posted:He wouldn't just say "I would do everything necessary to protect our people" and instead twisted in the wind about 'no first strikes' and didn't shut the gently caress up. He looked really dishonest and completely supported the whole 'nutty dangerous corbyn' attack. Hope is legit dead now it was loving terrible. I'm really hoping hope for the U.K. isn't dead. My president took the US out of the climate change agreement yesterday, and I would very much like not to be depressed today.

Was going to be voting Green or Labour anyway and it's really too minor to sway anyone I reckon. Seriously though. The strategy has to be for the many, not the few.

After seeing the headlines about how May wants to regulate the internet and clicking on those superficial Facebook news links, I realized that I still had no idea what policies are being proposed by the Tories. That's when I found this article from Forbes a few days ago (prior to the most recent London terrorist attack): http://www.forbes.com/sites/jaymcgregor/2017/05/30/conservative-internet-regulation-plans-are-quietly-terrifying/amp/ What the gently caress? How is this not a bigger news story? Anyone that complains about Corbyn's pro-cop turn needs to remember what the Tories are proposing.

Only good news that I see from the Conservatives keeping their majority or expanding their majority is that they would be fully responsible for the inevitably disastrous Brexit negotiations. Of course, Labour might still fail to win the next election regardless. What a stupid world.

A Monty Python song started playing in my head when I saw the latest polls. "We come from nothing, we are going back to nothing- In the end what have we lost? Nothing!" Except for the NHS and dignified life for poor people. We're probably losing the remains of those things.

Not Operator posted:I feel dumber for having clicked on that link. No, it hasnt come up in the thread yet. Apparently, a friend of mine follows a prominent twitter pundit who condemned Corbyn for not doing enough to distance himself from anti-Semitism. This guy then shared the daily stormer link and talked about how Corbyn is bad for getting the Nazi endorsement. What is life.
