Bracing myself for the Victorian ALP to demonstrate that they learned absolutely nothing about what made Dan Andrews popular. "OMG ONE NATION ARE POPULAR, QUICK PANDER TO THE RIGHT" "Has that ever actually worked?" "... UMM ..." "Wasn't Dan Andrews an explicit counter-example to the idea that it's needed?" "... WELL ..." "So maybe could you... lean into that, perhaps?" "WE WILL 100% NOT BE DOING THAT VOTE FOR US THE GREENS POLITICAL PARTY ARE TERRIBLE GOODBYEEEEEEEEE"

@benno@eigenmagic.net whoever figures out how to stop centre-left / social-democratic parties from seeing only those further left as political enemies is going to usher in world peace. (if you think about whether the people who direct the political efforts of centre-left / social-democratic parties are just ideologically blinded or if there's rational motivations at work it leads to some dark places so I recommend not doing that)

@benno@eigenmagic.net ALP is confident that all Greens voters will put ALP as second preference, so why bother making an effort?
