My thread is still the most successful AusPol thread. Maybe even the most successful thread in general. It was a great thread. More pages and posts than any other I've seen.

Are they? How are they not wiping the floor with an utterly incompetent LNP? Support is going to whacko third parties like the Greens rather than Labor.

Have you checked the polling? They can't wrangle the ON voter because that voter is a cretin, unless you want them to go full kill all blacks and Greens don't have old party politics and are arguably an entirely different demographic to the ALP.

2 party voters are going to vote ALP and they're going to form government. They just need to wait a while.

e: a good Greens v ALP situation is northern Melbourne where the poor booths vote ALP and the nouveau bougie booths vote Green.

Careful there, JBP is going to sue you for character assassination

The private school spivs I know all vote for the Greens, which makes sense since 70% of inner city Melbourne Greens voters dislike unions and this is reflected in my mates who get jobs as "professionals" and turn on organised labour the moment something goes wrong or a union member asks for procedural fairness.

Greens voters are essentially $80-110k per annum human resources managers that say things like "oh actually I think unions are necessary and working people deserve to be represented".

Because Greens voters are all one big monolithic stereotype, way to drink the ALP "they're stealing our votes!!!!!" kool-aid.

It's not like the Greens have a very strong following from younger people, who are largely under the average take home pay and honestly just want to have any kind of chance of a career.

I was responding to a poster claiming the ALP is only for spivs, CrazyTolradi. I respect the broad appeal of the greens political party who have a very strong following and members in the most expensive suburbs of Melbourne.

TBH the only difference between Young Libs and Young Labor is the party name, they both walk out of the same sailing clubs with their dads.

Young Labor are very largely descended from Liberal voters these days thanks to the new career path of the lifetime politician. It's also a great way to stick it up mum and dad. They also dislike unions.

It is possible to recognise that the Greens have had difficulty penetrating working class electorates due to real or perceived snobbery workout it being an actual attack on the party.

This is generally how I proceed, but it's more difficult when it's one of your top things/people to enjoy.

Like the story can tend to turn into “wow look at these Hollywood sickos” rather than “abuse is rife, even amongst high profile men with a reputation to protect, victims are everywhere, even amongst women who appear far more powerful and with more agency than most”

This is my main issue. It also descends very quickly into (((Hollywood))) territory. The crux of it is that if I manage a 7-11 and rape my staff no one gives a gently caress because I'm just a 7-11 guy.
