"Whatever you think of corbyn and/or our democratic system, if he loses, all those things listed go the bad way - this election will have real implications on my and people i know's lives - not some political theory (yes i am aware how bad it currently looks, but there's still hope)" Yes. Its about real stuff like the dismantling of the health service and the endless persecution and harassment of the disabled and unemployed. My expectations of Corbyn & Labour have never been set high to knock down. But the fact is that in the longer term if you cant get the mild mannered janitor a proper hearing: never mind elected on a fairly tame social democrat ticket to deal with these issues, then the Overton window merely narrows and moves even further to the right, excluding even the suggestion any kind of more radical change.
