My belief is that Kamala would have won last year if they’d let Tim Walz keep calling Vance and Trump “weird.” But the professional Dem consultant class closed off the one attack that actually resonated with voters.

Endlessly attacking Trump as depraved and support for him as a form of moral failure actually made people stop supporting him. Shame and disgust are very powerful weapons.

Worn down by the Pro-Israel lobby?
They're hoping they won't have to mention Palestine ever again.

Their open-mouthed credulity is depressing. We need more John Lyonses and fewer Carrington Clarkes

The thing about the Nazi chat is these people turned the country upside down and got a lot of people fired to be able to say those things in comfort.

Cos they want to stop talking about it, and move onto something new that they don't have to tiptoe around, in fear of giving "offence"

There is only one Coroner in NSW. She has numerous employees who work in her office but there is only one Coroner, in the same way Chris Minns is the only Premier

The sad thing is you can substitute almost any other policy issue for "superannuation", and your prediction still works.

Ahhh well.

Anyway, this is just pre-emptive bitch in case the PM forces Chalmers to negotiate with the Libs over superannuation rather than just band with the Greens & pass the bill as is.

Grow up and use the Greens to pass the policies you want.

(Prob tho, when the PM prefers politics to policy)
