… and labor are a bunch of chickenshit idiots swinging to the right because we taught them to behave that way at the ballot box.
Are you saying this or are you saying this is also the rhetoric you want to cut?
Comment on Dutton to launch assault on Labor’s red wall. Can it win him the next election?

“both sides as baddd!!!” no, not true, and labor are a bunch of chickenshit idiots swinging to the right because we taught them to behave that way at the ballot box.

oh no, that part is absolutely true. But you get the behaviour from politicians you vote for.

Thanks.

I don’t understand sorry. Can you elaborate?

Labor has come again and again with the policies that people claim to want - closing tax loopholes, dealing with housing, dealing with the growing inequity between financial strata. And people turn around and vote liberal. They very clearly said at the ballot box “nonooo we don’t want those”. And so the window shifts.
Remember Gillard’s speech? How it was a “groundbreaking speech against misogyny”? Who did we immediately vote in afterwards? The fucker who that was aimed at. We rewarded abbott’s behaviour.
The more voters reward right wing behaviour, the more right wing behaviour they get from politicians after their votes. And now we’re here, with Dutton as a candidate. Fucking dutton. A man so far up Trumps arse he has a permanent orange belt. We’re a goddamn embarrassment.

Personally, I’d like us to stop false dichotomy rhetoric too. This isn’t a two-party system, less so every election.
As for the two biggest, I agree, they’re not equivalent, I prefer one over the other (both theoretically and on the ballot), but both have stabbed workers in the back consistently. Both are inadequate.
