Clearly Pissflaps just needs to work on managing the thread's view on him better, if he can't manage effectively what people think of his posting then he should resign his account and let someone else take it over

It's really not though. It's that it's POSSIBLE. I've never claimed it's a guarantee I've claimed its a possible avenue to victory.

People basically asserting he;s lost 4 years before he has a chance to win however is a loving brilliant way of making that a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The crux of your argument is that you're literally demanding the impossible.

its only even possible to win 2020 if he capitalizes on the gains today

he hasn't and nothing he's done in the last 3-4 months since his win in the leadership elections gives me any faith that he can create the electoral machine needed to defeat the inbuilt tory advantage in 2020. he cant even keep his shadow cabinet on message, momentum is languishing and he's unpopular in the general electorate

I don't think Corbyn's unpopularity is because of a Labour MP criticising him in the papers.

What opportunities has he had to do so, exactly?

Bearing in mind that it takes at least a year for official Labour policies to come into existence, and you've for some reason already discounted a convincing by-election victory as evidence.

To let things slide for the sake of peace and friendship when a person has clearly gone wrong, and refrain from principled argument because he is an old acquaintance, a fellow townsman, a schoolmate, a close friend, a loved one, an old colleague or Pissflaps. Or to touch on the matter lightly instead of going into it thoroughly, so as to keep on good terms. The result is that both the organization and the individual are harmed. This is one type of liberalism.

this is a problem w/ labour that Jeremy "jez we can" Corbyn can and should have fixed

are you seriously not discounting a by-election held in a labour stronghold with a split opposition as evidence for a broad 2020 victory?

The ability for the Labour party to win elections under his leadership.

No, he couldn't have fixed that yet. He MIGHT be able to at the next Conference, but he can't, wouldn't, and shouldn't even if he could and would, run roughshod over the established party procedures, and he can't change them without the approval of the party which happens at Conference. Give him a loving chance, seriously, it is literally not legally possible to change Labour procedures that quickly.

I'm saying that evidence that the party under his leadership can win elections is evidence that the party under his leadership can win elections. No more, no less. It was the party's to lose, everyone was predicting that it would go horribly for Labour, and they increased their vote share, mostly as I understand it by means of a strong ground game from dedicated activists of exactly the sort I'm suggesting might help.

It's not a guarantee of victory, by any means, but it's evidence that Labour can use its means to win elections without compromising its principles.

I wouldn't call myself a Corbynista exactly. He's not left wing enough for me personally, but he feels like the right balance for a mass party leader.

Yeah she scraped by on something like 700 votes, and the Parliamentary Commissioner is appointed by the commons and has historically been completely toothless including having commissioners bullied out of the post for daring to suggest investigating MPs.
