It feels like there's no winning as a progressive in Australia. If nothing changes, Labor is headed for a wipeout. 1/

If you want to vote for an anti-establishment party, to stick it to the billionaires, then you can vote for the Greens. But it seems like most on the left see them as *too* radical, or only interested in political point scoring, or whatever way you want to dismiss them as "unserious"

So people who want big change have the Greens, people who want incremental "serious" reform have Labor, and independents are gaining ground - how is it that it's still not enough?

There must be something the Coalition is doing that makes their message appealing. Are we really in a place where people are hurting and want to toss out the current mob, but won't vote for a minor party or independent because... why?
