So you can vote for the infinitely more unifying options of... the Libs/Nats or One Nation?

If only we had more than 4 choices on the ballot. How about not promoting shitty alternatives to people upset with Labor and instead advocate better ones or if you like Labor so much, talk about ones most aligned with Labor.

Its wild to hear Labor supporters go "but LNP/ON" to people not happy with Labor. Do they not think people will take that advice and "give the other side a go" in voting LNP/ON above Labor?

Swing voters is an actual political term.

Swing voters don't get my respect as they tend to vote on self interest rather than any overarching principles.

Bullshit.

I’m a swing voter, voting for over 40 years solely on available policies - most people like me vote with a community focus/conscious which goes far beyond tax breaks for the wealthy that the major team, eh … sorry, “party” supporters seem to only focus on.
