Comment on Labor looks likely to win 2025 Election

Yay-aaaawn…
For the first time ever I reckon I’ll just donkey vote.
I have absolutely no faith at all in any of the big players in Australian politics. The LNP are selfish idiots who only care about their own personal interests. The Labor Party are only slightly less malicious and wasted their entire term on dumb shite like banning kids from social media, and are doing everything in their power to exacerbate the housing crisis by artificially increasing the Australian population.
The Greens are full of incompetent, idiots who want to pretend that migration doesn’t influence the housing supply (and HOW DARE YOU assume that more people = more competition, you racist!)
No one else has even the slightest chance of gaining any influence in Australian politics.

Nonsense peddled by the majors because they’re scared of having to run a minority govt. Fuck them. Vote indie/minors.

Our ranked choice system and the existence of a crossbench means that independents and minor parties actually do have some collective influence, and furthermore, that’s how we help shift the playing field for next time - look at how insignificant Greens were 20 years ago. If we want to fuck over the big three, we have to vote for someone better.
donkey vote
Don’t do a donkey vote, just do an invalid or empty ballot. Preferably just put a huge line through the form. Makes it easy for election workers to know which pile to sort it in. A donkey vote is counted as a valid vote.

Yeah, I used the wrong term. That’s what I meant.

Donkey votes are crazy in Australia with a preferential system. Just rank your preferences. All the bad parties are not equally bad. You owe it to yourself, your family and your country to put them in order. Your competition is some ignorant fuck who is going to put the worst team first because they hate everything and everyone. No point whinging when they win. You can at least counter their vote.

Ok then. Your opinion is irrelevant and you don’t matter.

Donkey vote would be sad, at least draw a dick on it or something

I will never understand this attitude.
We have preferential voting, every (legitimate) vote has an impact.
Donkey voting is a lazy way of pretending that none of what happens is “your” fault, cause you didn’t vote for “them”.
