Cleretic posted:Okay, so what should perhaps be my course of action going forward in responding to the VEC handing me an 'invalid response to apparent failure to vote'? Because apparently the response of 'I did vote, here's when I sent it and where I sent it from' is not a valid or acceptable response (at which point I'm wondering what IS acceptable because what the gently caress else could I provide). Become angry and demand to know where you vote went. Are you telling me you LOST my vote and it didn't count? Demand to know how they mucked up and why they are blaming you for their mistake. Loudly. To your local paper even. "AEC can't even track or count the votes they actually received" Loudly recount the location of the booth you voted and insist on disciplinary action being taken against the staff who worked there for having the sheer blundering incompetence of losing track of your vote. Do they even know how to use a ruler? Basically behave like a 70 year old pensioner. DancingShade fucked around with this message at 10:29 on Apr 12, 2017 |

A few pages old but:Quantum Mechanic posted:You can think talking about smashing capitalism is ineffective (it's not that ineffective in my local area, people are way less attached to capitalism than the Liberals would have you believe) but the Greens need to reorient to some radical and visionary policy. Free education, basic income, re-nationalise the job service, direct Federal investment into publicly-owned renewable energy. Stop privatisation, fund public housing, etc. This small-target bullshit on market mechanisms for climate, tune the levers on taxation a bit and oh introduce a sugar tax is just simply not working and we're going to keep slowly bleeding away. You are right that the Greens need to reorient themselves and those are all good policies. But trying to sell them by talking about smashing capitalism or whole sale economic system change is doomed to fail in my opinion. It'll scare people off without them engaging with the policy. Just talk about why they are good policies, what they are fixing, and just leave the end goal (smashing capitalism) out of it. You don't start off a convo with people in your local area by saying "Hey, what do you think about the idea of smashing capitalism?" do you?

Haught posted:I'm an active member of VYG and it's fine enough, people have a wide range of views and disagreements. I think the comparison to young Labor is pretty dumb and is just the same tired NSW vs VIC stuff that is universally loving terrible no matter which side it's coming from. The more salient warning would be to not expect that much from youth politics because youth politics. literally every interaction I've had with members of VYG (at least the ones who participate in AYG) has run the gamut from infuriating to toxic, but YMMV I am being perfectly honest when I say that not only do I generally have better interactions with Young Labor, I managed to spend a more congenial week on prepoll with a young member of the Taliban Right of the NSW Libs. Familiarity breeds contempt I guess. Periphery posted:A few pages old but: True but on the other hand it's also important to recognise that it is/should be part of your platform. That might not be how you market it, but at some point you have to have a foundational statement that makes clear that you are opposed to capitalism, or your policy is going to liberalise. Remember, LR launching made Richard bumblefuck his way into a press release saying the Greens don't oppose capitalism - it revealed a very real schism in the party, and not talking about it is just shadowboxing over policy.

You could absolutely blame all those job network parasite companies that don't do poo poo for the unemployed as being a direct outcome of bad welfare policy. Although if the desired outcome was to actually direct taxpayer money to your mates and their job network companies then I guess you could say those policies are working as intended.

Milton Friedman was a proponent of basic income via a negative income tax. The haute bourgeoisie, like Musk, are beginning to understand that if they don't institute some form of universal basic income eventually they'll be hung by the mob.

Elon Musk, like Ford, understands that if people can't afford to buy things because they're destitute then you also can't sell them things and your business / industry folds.

As to prepoll that's just normal though, personality differences are usually more draining than idealogical differences. Last federal I became close personal friends with the Labor candidate and literally had a fling with someone working for Glenn Lazarus (lol). I was in regional Qld at the time so there wasn't the same animosity between Labor/Greens an who has the energy when there are Australian Liberty Alliance scumbags around to have a go at.
