If the election falls between Christmas and New Year then a not insignificant number of people who aren't registered for postal voting (or are needed for manning stations and/or counting) will be nowhere near their constituency, myself included. I'd hope it would get delayed to early next year, or just, you know, kept on the 12th, but did they plan for that? [edit] Also, happy birthday! I failed a pub quiz in your honour.

The only bit of the bee episode I like is the song, I don't generally get weird trip episodes, at all. I hadn't cried in years, then I finished FFXV. I made it through the credits, where it replays the opening with them pushing their busted car and grousing at each other. I just about held it together during the mid credits when Noctis opens up to everyone. Then it hit the post credit scene where he picks up the photo you chose and I cried like a baby. Felt really liberating, though.

Labour should probably think about getting in a fresh leader if Corbyn loses, but the right is absolutely convinced that the left wing resurgence is due to a bunch of stupid kids caught in a cult and that it'll all blow over if they lose the election. Losing the election isn't the time to quiet down and rethink, it's the time to get a second wind and meet every crushing right wing policy with a resounding "should have loving voted for us then, shouldn't you?"

GlyphGryph posted:She's pretty left otherwise, but yeah she's definitely hyperfocused on the issue of antisemitism for the recent year. I think if it weren't for this particular issue she's be enthusiastically pro-Corbyn I'm absolutely sure. So it's frustrating, but it is what it is. Nah, keep going. You don't need to move on to another talking point until she addresses why she is ignoring and marginalising Jewish voices, and the longer she tried to avoid it the more she looks unreasonable. I love it when people try to just ignore inconvenient facts, because all you have to do is refuse to move on until they answer it and there is absolutely no good, reasonable looking response on their part other than answering the question.

You were right goons, I needed more D in my life. Its like no matter how tired or awake I was, there was a constant feeling of sluggishness dragging me down, and after a week it has been gradually melting away. I've started drawing and having a crack at Unity again, and it feels weird to not immediately start yawning and feeling fatigued. I always just put it down to laziness.

In 2017 Labour came just 800k votes shy of the total that gave Blair his 97 landslide. Millions upon millions of people are going to be voting Labour, regardless of how our stupid electoral system makes things shake out. Whatever happens, stay angry and keep demanding a voice in parliament. They are literally relying on the 'cult of Corbyn' being a passing fad.

It's funny, there was a period in the run up to the election where I didn't hear about Brexit at all, for like a week when there weren't any leader debates for Boris to waffle on about it. Everything in the lead up suggested that Labour's approach was correct. Hell, even the tories were being cautious when the exit poll came out.

Corbynism is done, but Corbynism was a kind and conciliatory approach that attempted to bridge gaps, literally 'kinder, gentler politics'. The time for that is done. What we need now is a massive rejection of the media, just tell them to gently caress off and eat poo poo on live TV when they try getting vox pops, and focus hard on pushing full leftist politics at ground level. We tried working with the system and it got us nothing, they twisted everything we did and said even in person. loving Andrew Marr straight up asked McDonnell why Labour had made itself a home for racists just days before the election. Labour politicians are the public voice, but they need to be less Corbyn and more Emily 'drunken aunt' Thornbury. This isn't so much a loss as a reality check on how far Corbyn could get the left in the current climate, and it has reached its limit, and that's fine. Readjust, and keep going.

People still think of broadband as being some kind of frivolous luxury, and as such an expensive handout for kids to play Fortnite with, when really it is the backbone of the entire corporate world and very obviously a net gain for the country from that perspective, but I don't think Labour communicated that at all. In all honesty, the overstuffed manifesto was a problem, in hindsight. Some key talking points are all that are needed, and you should just do all the other stuff anyway when you get into power.

There are plenty of evident flaws with the campaign in hindsight, but it definitely wasn't unreasonable to believe that people were loving sick of everything and would respond well to a big, energetic blowout campaign.
