Labor and the Coalition have very different ideas about ties to the United States

What a surprise! The conservative party aligns with fascists? Nobody could have predicted this shocking turn of events. My entire would view is shook. I have lost my religion. It simply can not be.

Your sarcasm does zero to stop fascism

Perhaps "does little" would have been a better turn of phrase?
I say this because mocking that sort of thing does cause people to second-guess the validity of it. Which in-turn may make that line of thinking less attractive to people heading down that path.

Ley and her so-called moderates seem to have instantly caved to pressure from their right. The Coalition are as out of touch as ever on most major issues and it feels like Dutton never left. Considering they were always going to need at least two terms to regain power, and that Ley herself was very unlikely to remain leader for that entire period, one wonders what the point of her even is.

Her job is probably to cop all the negative publicity for the LNP for the next few years, only to get dropped ~90 days from the next election and be replaced with a generic white guy with the same abhorrent views but none of the baggage.

Look at the poster's profile and have a glance not only at the 17 articles they post every hour, but go and look at their comments.

What am I supposed to be looking at? They post a lot? They post American, Aus, NZ stuff? What are you on about?

I don't believe a single person actually has trouble knowing what I mean, but lots of people in bad faith will pretend as if they do.

I'm a little lost too, they post a lot, left leaning and progressive stuff mostly. Nothing terribly controversial so far as I can see.

When I saw the volume of posts I thought maybe a bot but it just seems that they are *really active.

My comment specifically states "look at their comments".

Bad faith brigading.

I'm married. So, I suppose I'm not a single person. Can single person explain what this person is on about?

Are you blind?

No. Just regular bad faith brigading. "Super smart."

In truth, you brought me here. I usually avoid politics.

But if you turn up in an Australian instance and have nothing but vague "look at that" to go with, don't be surprised if Aussies respond with snark.
