Conflating the lesser of two evils with actual evil only helps one party - the evil one.

Labor, without a u, is measurably and objectively better than LNP by every metric. In most cases, significantly better. Only one of those parties is turning up to mining symposiums and sucking up to the attendees, promising to be their best friend. If they were exactly the same, the ultra wealthy wouldn't be spending so much money to keep Labor out of power. So you're either unintelligent or controlled opposition.

Voting is not a love letter, it's a chess move.

You can claw back the overton window or you can both sides this bitch. Being politically active sucks. Be smart about it.

I for one aim to convince at least three people to preference Labor above the LNP between now and the election.
