On the Covid front I'm fine so far. On the economic armageddon front, as I'm self employed, less so

So my mother has an underlying health condition that makes her high risk and is full on taking this seriously. She's social distancing inside the house from anyone who visits, has bought chickens so that she doesn't have to go to the shops for eggs, and is growing all different kinds of vegetables I thought she was being a bit over the top to begin with but given what's going on with supermarkets I no longer think that. I think people are a greater problem than the actual virus tbh. The government has actually impressed me in the past week after being dismal initially, but they need to force people to take this seriously. I also don't share Rentons view that we'll get a socialist utopia out of this. People will just try to forget about it IMO.

We've had that particular debate at least once before (like, literally that specific debate) and I don't remember losing it. I'm not doing it again. I don't understand why I keep being drawn into this shit, I must actually be mentally defective.
-
Corbyn didn't fall for the elephant trap. He was forced into it by the SNP and the LDs. He couldn't vote against it while knowing they were going to go for it. But look, I'm done. You're right, you're right about everything and always have been. I really need to stop fucking posting in here.
-
I'm open to it.
-
I'm voting for Starmer. He's the most pro-EU candidate and that's all I care about.
-
I was making a general comment alluding to my wider existential crisis and lack of personal meaning I appreciate you taking the time to engage with me and to set me right on things tbh. And I mean that sincerely. Biden doesn't sound as bad as I first thought.
-
I am indeed.
-
It is up for debate ffs. What would Blair's position on Brexit have been then, that would have won over the Leave voters? Jesus Christ man.
-
Ah, back to being stupid again. It's been a while. You're probably right tbh. But no contribution you have ever made on this forum has made me reconsider my position on anything. I've changed my mind plenty on here in the face of evidence, but I'm yet to see you go toe to toe with me on anything. So you can stick to sniping pointlessly but tbh mate, I'm just gonna ignore it from here on out unless it comes with an argument.
-
Me too just about. In charge, that is. Leading the parties trying to get back into power - no. They'd lose. EDIT - which is a moot point really because we're losing no matter what. So I'm gonna stick to voting for this that makes logical sense, until such a time as I believe anyone can actually win. In the UK, it means Green.
-
I'm not doing this mate, I'm surprised I've been drawn into this as much as I have. I'm not denigrating Blair or Obama or anyone. But they're not the men we need right now.
-
Ok? I'm good without your approval ewerk I mean, I'll survive.
-
I mean the parallels with my stance are really clear though, so again, I was speaking in that sense. Nevermind anyway, it's all a moot point. If Sanders throws his weight behind Biden when the latter wins, in the same way he did for Clinton, then maybe enough people can be called out for Trump to be defeated. We'll see I suppose, but it looks like game over now for Sanders.
-
Fair enough if he manages all of it, I guess. I'll hold my hands up if he does. Will you lot hold your hands up if Trump destroys him? I already know, don't bother answering.
-
His broad tent is older voters. That's a common theme going right through it irrespective of other demographics. He's a favourite of boomers with some degree of liberal conscience.
-
By virtue of that, none of us can complain about Trump having been elected in the first place. I'll complain if I want to, thanks
-
It's not moral purity. I'm not claiming any moral highground. I just don't give a fuck anymore. Trump, Bloomberg, Biden, I don't see the fucking difference. All of them well to the right of the Tories. Rearranging deckchairs on the Titanic.
-
If I was them, that kind of bullshit wouldn't work on me anymore. My conscience would be clear as day.
-
Depends how many Bernie voters are prepared to vote for him really.
-
I think I've given up on hope altogether tbh. I "hope" I'm not right too. But the consistent thing I've noticed in my entire adult life following politics, is statements like the following: The Tories and the LDs will never keep this coalition together. The Tories will never win after austerity. Leave won't win. Brexit will never actually happen. Trump will never win. The Tories will never get away with Brexit. Trump will never see out a full term. Latest instalments are: Trump won't win next time. The Tories won't survive actually delivering Brexit.
-
How do we achieve normality with the planet on fire? How do you mitigate for that without radical overhaul?
-
I've noticed the stuff about Starmer's funding too. It's pointless and doesn't get us anywhere. Starmer will lose to the Tories but he'll lose more closely than RLB will. May as well put our best foot forward.
