This whole country is frothing at the mouth to make sure as many kids are born as possible so they can proceed to neglect them and throw them in jail when they understandably lose it.

I fucking hate this shithole. I know it's not the peoples fault they are bombarded by fear and propaganda, but at the same time I find it hard to relate to a society that hates their own children. I feel surrounded by monsters. aus-delenda-est

Oh, also voting is mandatory here. So all those libs thinking anti-electoralism is your biggest hurdle to winning? Yeah, no. Your biggest hurdle is your own parties total refusal to stand up to the far-right and deliver on any promises. Failure to oppose imperialism. Your support of capitalism. Your funding of far-right proxy wars. Failure to present any real counter argument. Your support of private companies and insipid courting of right-wing voters that will never respect you. And most of all your hatred of the left and refusal to work with them and your insistence on compromising with capitalism.

You are pathetic and the only one to blame for people like Trump is yourself, not "Tankies"

    Mandatory voting in this case means, turn up and get your name ticked off, or get a $200 fine

      We literally have people at the voting booths handing you fliers seconds before you vote.

      People undecided until the last minute? Sounds like good informed democracy to me! agony-deep

        I always enjoy scoffing at whatever trot group is there, telling them i know how to vote thanks, one time i absent mindedly walked directly over to the liberals, who i also laughed at before going in side

        I actually always enjoy the democracy larp, but I'm not a punishing shite about it, democrats take note
