The words "Left" and "Right" are pointless and just muddy the waters.

A country's government is either authoritarian or democratic.

That's the distinction.

Sounds like they’re the fucking Gestapo. Maybe people would stop comparing them to the Gestapo if they did not so much resemble the Gestapo.

SERARTMELN 의 Homeland Security & @DHSgov It is absolutely sickening to compare ICE law enforcement agents to the Gestapo. Attacks and demonization of ICE and our partners is wrong. ICE officers are now facing a 413% increase in assaults. Our message is clear: DO NOT come to this country illegally. If you do, we will arrest you, deport you and you will never return. • • • Alpha News #@AlphaNewsMN • 1d During a commencement ceremony speech at the U of M, Gov.

Preferential voting is deeply democratic, because election depends on whom a majority find the most preferable option, and voting itself delivers a clear snapshot of who values what most politically and in what proportion. Any attack on it is an attack on Australian democracy. #auspol

My thoughts (on a Poll Bludger comments thread) on the curious increase in Australian anti preferential voting talk among online right wingers and in the right wing media. #auspol #ausvotes
It is remarkable how quickly anti preferential voting articles have ramped up in the last year, especially in The Australian, as well as passing mentions of Australia’s “controversial” voting system. There was a bit of this in the right wing media after 2022, although now it seems more common. A lot of right wing echo chamber groundwork is being done to discredit preferences as a basic voting concept. I’m tipping a future Coalition govt (or opposition) could one day push for optional preferences at least if they get a chance. The federal Coalition aren’t there yet, but they could get there, at least some of them. I know we’ve had plenty of parliamentary post election cross party committee reviews etc. that rejected fundamental changes to our federal voting system, and the general public is not asking for it, but look out. In my view, the current anti wave gained momentum after the 2022 Vic election and the federal election with an upsurge of Australian random right wing twitter users picking up on US right wingers attacking some state level alternative voting systems (Alaska, Maine) after some Republicans lost. “Instant run off voting” became a hate target. People here picked up on that from the USA, like all their bad ideas, and tried to apply it here. It has a strong anti Greens element, and they are convinced Labor would lose at state & federal level without it (although people would likely modify their voting behaviour if they knew it was FPTP, and the numbers don’t necessarily stack up anyway). This is despite us having preferential voting since the 1920s and the first such ballot dating all the way back to 1890s colonial Queensland. The chat has flowed through to News Corp writers and other right commentators who never discussed it before. Watch this space, other media will soon be mentioning in passing our “controversial” voting system, because everything gets both-sided.

Holy fuck, the Greens have learned nothing. Nothing. Not a single word of self-reflection in Bandt’s concession. No admission of fault. Blaming boundary changes. Inventing fantasy “purple” people who somehow stole greens votes from them at nighttime. Oh man. #auspol

There is no safe haven under authoritarianism.

If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.

Americans of conscience must stand against this now.
