Asked the independent candidate for THEIR opinion, huh, looks like they can use neutral pronouns if they want to.

This election seems weird to me. The Coalition are doing all the things you do when you're going to lose and lose badly but that's still about 50-50, and the Republicans did this last year and they still won so idefk anymore. Flip a coin at this point I reckon.

The polls have messed with my usual election prediction algorithm. It's hard to see a path to a Coalition win, although it's not impossible. So I'm revising my prediction from 'Coalition majority' to 'I dunno tbh'.

Stop doing this unless you have a reason, they'll start relying on it and doing all the dodgy stuff after everyone's voted.

I don't know how to tell my sister and in law that their tactic of repeatedly yelling at their child and then yelling at him again when it doesn't work is not actually accomplishing anything but making us all stressed out.

Counterpoint: if voters want to keep re-electing someone they should be able to do so.

These people have been offered, many, many times, solutions to their problems. They repeatedly reject them in favour of fascism which doesn't help them. There is no helping them, they are a lost cause.

My Hot Take of this election is that not only should stealing or vandalizing someone's corflute/poster be legal, it should in fact be encouraged.

There is a small but sadly loud cohort of commentators who firmly believe ideology is bad whatever the ideology happens to be. I do wonder how these people manage to put on pants. Fusion are examples of them.

There isn't anyone else. Andrew Constance keeps losing, everyone thinks Angus Taylor is a joke, Hastie has no profile and is also totally unlikeable. It's Dutt till you nut, he's successfully given himself the job for life.

We don't lose because we don't 'build power', we lose because people don't want what we sell. This doesn't mean we are wrong to sell it.

It's even funnier because these people have made their names by loudly declaring that men are inherently superior, and when shown evidence that they may be normal they actively react with hostility. See also: Musk and video games.

The vast majority don't, actually - the vote was about 60-40. That doesn't make homophobia OK of course but we need to not pretend it isn't normal or accepted.
