@lightweight Personally I'll be voting for the Greens to the extent possible in my electorate, but they're not very popular with the majority of voters, despite standing for pretty much everything you've said here.

@mattwillis yes - it seems that voters are, by and large, not rational in the slightest. Many, even most, vote with their tribe based on simplistic narratives. They seem to especially resonate with narratives that make them feel more worthy than others. So, as much as I hate it, I think that to win, the Greens need to swallow their bile and come up with those sorts of narratives. Let's make 'oligarchs' the object of our derision. They certainly deserve it.
