Comment on Who to vote for?

15 years The Greens, 10 before that Independent, 5 before that Labor.

Why ? Becase the nations political and ecnomic policies are based on cruelty, exploitation and entitlment, so at least I don’t have to support that by enabling it with a vote.

The Greens policies are more likely (not all but more) to be based on science, the enviorment and/or kindness

I don’t believe The Greens are radical enough but my hope would be the Overton Window could be moved if there was a mich bigger swing to them, so we can at least discuss the more radical policies that are needed without being shouted down by conservatives.

I would always vote, I have no real hope that will change authing but If I am bothering to Vote I might as well do the right thing

I’m 58, I hold some pride in knowing I have NEVER voted for a winning candidate in any election I have ever voted in, it’s not me helping cause this fucking mess by continually voting for heartless grifters.
