It doesn't speak volumes at all given the point I was making was only coincidentally linked to Corbyn. Just because someone disagrees with you, doesn't mean they're necessarily blinkered, despite how realstic you might feel your opinion is. Again, I could just as easily say you're blinkered (and you'll say you're not because you have a relastic view and so forth). For example, I could also say it speaks volumes that you misquoted me. I said he showed little to no traits of a leader of even a mediocre level. But that's not important.
Re. the rest of your post, I don't disagree with a whole lot. A leader should show resilience and he's shown that. A Labour leader should be angry and I don't doubt his anger (at times). To say Blair glossed over everything with a cheesy grin at the dispatch box isn't accurate, but I agree Corbyn should be angry. A leader absolutely has to be charismatic and no, it isn't style over substance. I'd be curious to know more about his communications team and whoever managed the 2017 GE campaign.
The final paragraph I agree with too. But therein lies a problem. It's not good enough to say it's everyone else's fault. This has been a constant problem with people on the left and I've seen it from party officials, members, commentators...just about everyone. It's frustrating and it is misdirected anger to a degree but given the damage the Conservatives have done and their incompetence he should have TM booked in for a seven shades of shit removal every week at PMQs, couple of times through the week and twice on a fucking Sunday and for whatever reason it isn't translating. Part of his job is to direct that anger. And he's improved at it, but not enough. I would say it's far more infuriating that Labour aren't in a position to help those the Conservatives are destroying.
As an aside, I saw somebody on Twitter earlier this week lauding Corbyn's mobilisation, citing the 2017 General Election. Apparently people had stopped caring about politics until Corbyn. That really got under my skin. We're applauding well-contested losses now? Is this how low the bar is?
More generally, there's a dearth of talent across the parties. I think Starmer is a viable alternative but after him, I'm unsure who I'd want as a replacement anyway. Brexit's dominance of the news means I probably know just as much about their MPs as I do Labour now.
TLDR; I want Labour to be in government as much as anyone and if it comes across like I hate Corbyn it's because I think he's a huge part of the problem. Whether or not it's his fault is another point. Now can we put the Corbyn thing to bed? We have a shit draft Brexit deal!
