Federal Labor absolutely ****ing suck. Milquetoast centrists with no conviction or courage.

You can sort of see why. They decided to have an agenda in the last election and got blown to bits in the media.

Unfortunate for sure, but when your populace thinks EVs are the devil and renewables are SJW bullshit I'm not sure what the options are.

So you completely abandon your principles and values simply for the chance you might seize power? It's gross, incompetent and just so ridiculously cynical.

Unfortunately that’s what politics does to people. They mostly all go in with the best intentions but end up getting chewed up and spat out by the system. You’re crazy nowdays to look for guidance and any sort of morality from any level of government. All a pack of liars, hypocrites and grubs.

Been feeling putrid today. Fatigue, joint aches, shocks, rashes, hot and cold, vomiting and nausea. God I feel blessed for having access to sick leave.

They haven't completely abandoned their principles and values - it's just a difference in tax rates.

They all start out as ideologues but with each compromise they make to get deals done that are important to them they become corrupted by the system.

I disagree, I can’t see many ideologues vetted into the two party system..
The ideologues are what keep the big machine ticking along from afar.

Not Australian politics but AOC is a prime example of what I mean. Listen to her early stuff compared to now and it’s like two different people.

Did she ever believe what she said?
or was it all a rouse…
In my mind people like AOC are the worst, as they sell people hope or change and once they get power, they bail from their base.
