Mate all I can glean is that you like to get high, listen to radiohead and play video games.

Now I've actually read your post it sounds genuine. Corbyn did have some weaknesses, just like Brown who was similarly undermined by the right wing of the party these were magnified a hundredfold under the constant attacks from within the party and I don't think that can ever be forgiven: they are as much of a liability as the worst of the left. Ideally someone with better political instincts would have stood but we got Corbyn and briefly were able to give up the absolutely pathetic apologeticness of 2013-15 which did us no favours whatsoever. (Now of course we're right back to it, ceding ground left right and centre.)

At the end of the day, Corbyn symbolised so much and that makes people very attached to him personally but really it isn't about him it's about standing up to opportunism, corruption and decay - except now people have to rally around him again on principle, or else Starmer gets to set an absolutely appalling precedent. And I'm not sure I agree that gradualism automatically equals progress
