Why does Labor keep destroying any chance of re-election over such stupidity?
They have an overwhelming majority where they could push through all sorts of positive and progressive policy, but instead we end up with internet filters / banning kids from YouTube / backdooring Signal / whatever other dystopian crap they keep wanting to pull.
The short term whinge fest about good policy would be completely forgotten by the next election and you could win the public's favour off the results of that good policy... But instead all we'll remember is another attempt to ruin our online experience.
Do something good instead of being cunts ffs.
There's actually a really good method of analysis that is highly predictive about the actions of classes of people politically.
An election?
