Imagine a stronger US left led to Sanders beating Hilary for the nomination, and then going on to lose to Trump. With that loss partly being due to a bunch of high profile Democrats giving interviews on Fox where they were all ‘I’m not actually saying you should vote for Trump, but here’s a list of 10 reasons you should be worried about Sanders; number seven will shock you’’.
Instead they avoided this a couple of years later by doing it during the primaries instead, throwing out all the greatest hits to see what stuck (unpatriotic traitor, communist, misogynist, racist, etc).

Combined with the Iowa ratfuck, Obama's intervention, multiple Democrat-friendly broadcasters just conveniently leaving Sanders out of headlines and preliminary polling totals, the best I can say is that the DNC are much less incompetent than the Labour right but probably a lot less vindictive too.

Thread's moved on but the anxiety and autism exceptions for masks is funny because not having to appropriate human facial expressions combined with most people adjusting their personal space radius to my natural levels because of social distancing means this is probably the comfiest I've ever been in public. Obviously that stuff affects everyone differently but the huge disparity is interesting.

I mostly use folks when addressing groups but fervently believe that anybody spelling it with an x should be treated with the utmost suspicion.

One of the replacement candidates sounds okay (2 time Corbyn leadership voter, self-described socialist) to the point where I'm kinda surprised they even allowed her to take their place. She is a former CPS business consultant and I guess Starmer's proof of what that can mean. Also almost perfectly shares a name with the allegedly corrupt former mayor which is fun.

The other one's an Yvette Cooper/Owen Smith voter so I guess it's an easy choice.

They're obviously referring to the unholy pact Phillip had signed with the grim reaper finally reaching its expiration date.

My money's on Starmer losing in 2024 and staying on as leader regardless because the people currently in control of Labour's goal isn't winning, it's the preservation of politics as a career.

Labour seems to be coming out pretty strongly against the report, which is a nice surprise.

And with the Forde report still mothballed, it means about as much as their Trans Day of Visibility tweet.
