'Folks' is a useful word, though. And it's one syllable, handy for Australian linguistic laziness.

Vic libs are actively courting as many happy clappers as they can get their hands on to try and transform the party into a republican style outfit funded by religion. The downside to this is that unlike the 60%+ population of Christians in the USA, Australian non-religious are thicker on the ground than Catholics or generic Christians which tells me they're digging a fine and permanent grave.

Rich people who get into politics start out thinking they can buy popularity but as soon as they realise their horrible reactionary politics get attention it's a short road to complete madness. And sometimes total victory.

Always had a soft spot for games that show the setting of an established franchise from a different genre's perspective. Tales from the Borderlands is apparently one of the most well-liked Telltale games, and that might be part of the reason why.

They had half a populist policy that would pass with bipartisan support and they're already walking it back lmao. Oh you can't fire someone for being gay, but if someone being gay contravenes your religion, well, fire, fire away!

I think religious policy is a losing battle in this country for a number of reasons but mostly that nobody likes religious institutions except members of exactly that religion and everyone else hates them. Divide and conquer, baby.

I saw the Lobster Mobster reply and remebered the song of the same name from the Little Mermaid cartoon show.

By the way, in addition to a sequel direct to video movie there was a The Little Mermaid TV show prequel.

Anyone else remember Saturday Disney? Also, it seemed like they always cut off the last part of the last show they aired.

Also the GOP has spent decades demonising Clinton and given how close it was a near-identical establishment Dem with a different name would probably have won.

And then just like Clinton they would have been impeached.

Which got extra funny because Hillary bet the farm on campaigning to 'moderate suburban Republicans', exactly the demographic all that demonisation has been targeted at for two decades.
