On the one hand I get where the firefighters are coming from… On the other hand if they think one nation would piss on them if they were on fire…
This is the problem with having a duopoly and a bunch of racist fascist who people think are the third choice. The Liberals don’t give a fuck, PHONeys will give a fuck right up until Gina tells them not to then they will turn tail and bolt, if Labor aren’t going to do the right thing then no one with any clout will.
They should probably endorse the Greens, but they won’t cause all the true blue Stralyans would rather die than vote for a bunch of filthy hippies, regardless of how much they agree with them. Greens are usually to dysfunctional to do much damage, at least if the Tasmanian ones are any indication of nationwide calibre.
The average normie would rather pay a slick-talking conman to take them for a ride than put themselves at risk of committing to an idealistic struggle, and possibly turning into the kind of shabby, funny-smelling buffoon they are used to jeering at. That’s why everyone’s wading through slop and spam on Instagram and Facebook and wouldn’t set foot on Mastodon in a million years, or getting excited about AI-slop mockups of Adobe alternatives that might not work but at least don’t stink of open-source software, or conceding that it may be time to give fascism another try, if the only alternative is those awful over-earnest lefty ratbags.
It can be fucking scary how short-sighted the average person can be. I had a discussion with someone recently who lambasted me because I told him that Tasmania shouldn’t be spending multiple billion dollars on a stupid sports stadium when we are struggling to afford critical improvements to our education and health systems.
His response, "My kids grown up and I don’t get sick. I’d rather watch the Footy than waste money improving our hospital. "
So we will get a white elephant stadium that he will likely outlive, before he winds up in a shitty underfunded aged care facility, with a skeleton crew for staffing because Tasmania is suffering a critical shortage of young people have left for a more prosperous state, bitching about how he deserves better while actively voting against anyone that might give that to him.

I’m shocked more people don’t show some preference for the Greens.
