Daily reminder for what this independent stands for. She is a big L Liberal who just happens to believe in climate change and that queer people exist.

[Edit: I reckon what I wrote below here was probably a bit extreme. I still don't like Monique Ryan, but yeah, she is at least sane when it comes to climate and identity.

I still think it's fair to post this criticism under every single thing she says. But I will concede that her being a wanker doesn't necessarily mean giving 16 year olds the vote is culture war.

I don't take back anything about her being shit. If you're voting against criminalising wage theft, you are a shit person.

This was my knee-jerk reaction:]

To me, this is more culture war bullshit that right-wingers love to distract us with.

The voting age is perfectly fine where it is and is in line with practically all other age restrictions.

She voted against criminalising wage theft. Teals are not not-shit candidates, despite what The Juice Media might be peddling.

Lowering the voting age is culture war bullshit?

Guess we're making the term culture war meaningless now

Yeah. I'm gonna do something rare on the internet: you're right to call me out on this.

I let my dislike for a class enemy get the better of me in the way I expressed myself. Instead of commenting on the topic of voter age.

She's still a wanker for being against wage theft criminalisation. I'll stand by that.
