Cementing their irrelevance, well and truly, to appease the far right Christian nationalists of their party…cause that has proven so effective at the polls.
Slow clap.

Completely agree Peter. And the lack of a strong opposition makes our democracy weaker. Hopefully at the next election we see an increase in Independents who can hold the balance of power in a Labor Govt.

Turns out, campaigning on the govt making real changes to help working and middle class people live in dignity rather than just tinkering around the edges is popular among… the people.
Paradigm shift for BOTH Republican and Democratic parties who have become beholden to rich & powerful.

I went on the BOM site a couple of days ago and it looked so basic, I was sure it’d been hacked or stripped down while being updated.
It looks like a website created by a group of kids learning how to write code for a school project, not an official govt agency website.

It is abundantly clear that the Democrats aren’t really all that motivated to stop Trump. They’re so far inside their own centrist bubble, they think they’ll ride it out and hopefully make some more money off donors while waiting…
