Military fatigues would actually be fitting given how badly YourParty is doing.

Brilliant! Let’s not let the downvotes kill the discourse, go on and disagree with people, but just like this, find common ground and go from there. I will try and do the same.

In future I’ll describe Corbyn as someone who looks like he doesn’t have access to regular showers, an iron, haircuts, shaving facilities,a mirror, and has looked this way for so long is the sort of person who doesn’t care about the way he presents himself, which may have a negative impact on his ability to secure votes and create a negative first impression from other world leaders…. maybe someone can suggest a pithy way that can be expressed without disparaging any socio-economic group.

With the introduction of AI slop and the usual Mis/disinformation downvotes are sometimes handy. However as we have seen here the downvote button means different things for different people.

I think the most likely explanation is I dared to criticise the Lefts Messiah on a far Left wing sub, enraging the people’s front of judea.

It may have been insensitive, but to say I was disparaging the homeless is not correct. Just try to temper your language with people who are conversing with you, because you tend to go for the extremes.

My opinion (without the pedantry this time) is how you present yourself is a choice, having a view of someone based on their choices does not make me shallow.

Using that as the only basis for your opinion of someone could be shallow, but always best to check.

You know what, fair play, you’ve actually made my insomnia enjoyable this evening.

I still maintain he would have won in 2019 if he tidied himself up a bit… and maybe objected to Brexit earlier than the the week before the election… ok I’ll quit while I’m still being mostly positive.

Wait, are you Jeremy Corbyn? I did wonder what you were up to these days.

I voted for him in… was it 2019? Can’t remember exactly. I can’t be expected to put every tiny detail in every post I make on Lemmy.

I’m beginning to regret ignoring your obvious pivot to “you hate homeless people!” now.

This seems like a pretty clear way to try to imply you were only speaking for others as a matter of practicality rather than being superficial yourself.

As you read it back, it’s not actually what I said, your use of “imply” shows you are now realising it’s clearer I was just saying it’s important because he needs votes. (From many people)

I haven’t been particularly aggressive, but frankly your disparaging of the homeless (who have enough of a hard time already) in your first comment was unpleasant and more than a bit classist.

Maybe the point I agree with the most, even though the intention was obviously not to disparage the homeless, I’ll be careful not to use that analogy in future.

I don’t recall relinquishing ownership of my stance.

I think you think what I was saying is akin to racism, sexism, ageism etc. which got you coming out of the gate a bit aggressive.

I think you’re reading too much int to this, I’m allowed to think someone’s decisions are bad and use that as a reason (or contributing reason) to form opinions about them.

In what way did I act on my bias exactly?

The fact that I recognise it’s superficial is irrelevant, I do have a list of reasons why I don’t like Corbyn as a politician, and his political stances I disagree with.

At some point though I was less politically informed and his presentation probably made me less likely to imagine him leading the country.

Are you saying that makes me a bad person? If so I’ve got really bad news for you; everyone has unconscious biases, the people that recognise them are in the minority.

I’m just seeing the death of discussion through downvoting, so few comments, and when there are comments (especially in political subs) they tend to be ad hominem attacks.

Let’s be clear, I’m not judging him based on immutable characteristics, just his presentation, everyone does this subconsciously or consciously every day, for some it doesn’t matter but when your trying to win votes and change opinions it’s not a good idea.

Just because it’s superficial doesn’t mean it’s not important, many others will think the exact same thing, will not take him seriously and won’t vote for him.

That’s kind of a problem for a politician who wants people to listen and vote.

I don’t only judge Corbyn on his appearance, I’m just citing it as a contributing factor. The undeniable embarrassment that has been the launch of “YourParty” is another key indicator in his inability to manage things effectively.

I’m not sure what your point is regarding his age and wealth, as an MP he is well above average earnings, and he has always looked a mess, when he was Labour leader he was always recorded coming out of his house brushing past the weeds and overgrown bushes.

Psychic damage because I made a request?

Ok - just had a look through your post history and you just like being an asshole on the internet. Hope that works out well for you.
