The favourite is probably Turner who is the official nominee of the united left slate who control the majority of the executive council. But there was a big argument about his nomination because he emphasized de-escalating the stand off with Starmer and trying to work with him so the guy that lost to him in the nomination is also running anyway thinking that he's too weak.

Coyne hopefully won't do as well as last time cause a big part of his campaign was "gently caress len" accusing him of personal misuse of powers but message does seem to have been received that the UL might need to tack slightly more to the centre after his success at the last vote.

Hang on a loving minute

Joe Biden has aphasia and a stutter, making fun of him for misspeaking is pretty lovely TBH. Yes, he makes mistakes talking but because he's had that problem his whole life, even in the days when he ran rings around Paul Ryan a la 2012 he was still making these kind of mistakes.

There are many things he deserves to get attacked for but that ain't it.

Also a more important thing to consider is that while Joe Biden is a centrist, he is a Democratic Party centrist so will actually listen to his party's left wing whereas the Labour Party's 'centrists' are all about slurping the Tory piss puddle while making GBS threads violently at the left.

Yeah this wasn't meant to be me saying "let us all love Joe Biden" it's more that the US left is doing better than it's done in a long time while our left has been purged and Sir Haircut has been loving dying in the polls while our criminally corrupt government has killed a hundred thousand brits through sure malevolence.

In fact I feel like I need to put a bit more substance into my last post. A lot of posters in this thread were *way* more aggressive in running off several perfectly good posters (including some really loving creepy helldumping in one case) for just *mentioning* they voted Kier Starmer

Gonna be honest the hostility to this, like even before Starmer had a chance to gently caress it (even if it was inevitable), was a little bit surprising. Part of why I went "well this thread is going into a deep hole" and peaced out for a while.

I've just retreated into video games. I mean. Its my job, but still.

Built a giant stone toilet in Valheim, killed a captain for legendary drops about 400 times in outriders, reinstalled grim Dawn and modded it to hell so its just a loot fountain simulator for the wife and I to blow off steam with and been kicking barrels, drinking and occasionally mining in deep rock galactic.

I highly recommend because watching Starmer make the wet eggs face on TV and the audience applaud then say they're going to vote for dishy rishy is no way to spend a weekend.

I also dug two holes in my lawn, made fajitas that were too spicy, planted two trees and had a lot of gin.

I actually took Minecraft back up again for a bit and it's shocking how much things can change over a decade and yet I'm still willing to waste hours of my like clicking at cubes in order to effect change around other cubes.

The newest game to waste my time is Breathedge which is both a crafting survival game and The Stanley Parable as written by an extremely nihilist Russian.

Speaking of Linehan my ma said he'd recently signed up to some women-only dating site declaring he's obviously a woman and they should stop discriminating against him? It was even more psychopathic when I looked into it https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2021/02/21/graham-linehan-women-her-dating-app-trans-transphobia-backlash/

I'd been struggling to get mum to not listen to the TERF bullshit in the mid-2010s and one thing that's helped has been her seeing the declining sanity of JKR and Linehan as the TERF Brain became terminal

Just about all those ex-Ottoman Balkan countries got seeded with western dukes and poo poo in some kind of weird early run at loving with post-colonial politics.

Like imagine that the British monarchy turned out to actually be descended from some obscure backwater Central European margaveduchy.
Like you think "British monarchy? Must be the house of Widdeleebum, house of Bollingford, house of Windsor or something" but you look and the actual dynasty name is Saxe-Coburg Gotha. Crazy stuff, hypothetically.

TBH I still use Buck Angel as a visual example of a trans man even the biggest transphobe will struggle to say "no that's clearly a woman." He's still pretty lovely about trans women and has said some rather horrible stuff, but it's not like that stops him being a man.

Gender Identity Clinic. There's a thread controversy that I came in part way through about the discussion of them about how effective they are about helping people (or potentially not helping people) who are in need of trans dysphoria support. I can't be specific because I came in mid-way but the issue is about whether they're good or bad due to a poorly-worded FOIA request about them.
