MODERATORS
Bad policy sold badly.
If they cannot açcept that, the 'no' campaign will appear more successful than they were, and will play against labour in the election. Is it really racist to criticise the 'yes' campaign?
Who is calling you a racist lol?
No voters woke up ready to shadowbox today. They'll do this all the way to the next election, regardless of what anyone says. The vote was done and they were acting like victims on social media immediately.
I keep saying it, but that is right wing outrage politics in a nutshell. Incite anger through deliberate forms of trolling like sealioning (which was absolutely rampant in this campaign) and then play the victim when you get called out. The uninformed only see the backlash and assume the reaction is unreasonable, when it's generally not.
I don't think so. Labor really shat the bed here IMO.
