Day 15 #OpEd reminder of who benefits from #LNP

Thu 31 Oct, 2024.
“#PeterDutton says his office asked whether billionaire (Oligarch) #GinaRinehart's jet was available for event: #OppositionLeader Peter Dutton has admitted his own error after saying he had never requested access to billionaire mining magnate Gina Rinehart's #PrivateJet in his travels.”
Mr Dutton has previously #declared flights provided by #HancockProspecting, owned by Ms #Rinehart, but on Tuesday said "no" when asked if he had ever personally asked to be flown courtesy of the nation's #richest woman.

“The #Nationals #leader, #DavidLittleproud, called it a “slip of the tongue” when Price, the shadow minister for #GovernmentEfficiency and Indigenous #Australians, told a campaign rally she wanted to “make #Australia great again” on Saturday. The #senator later claimed she hadn’t “even realised” she made the comments, then accused the media of being “obsessed” with the US president.
Guardian #Australia has obtained an image of the senator at an event with her family over the Christmas period wearing a Maga hat.

“The Liberals now hold consistent and significant leads in Quebec, Ontario, and the Atlantic. If this persists to the election, the Liberals could secure a majority before vote counting begins in some ridings. They also lead in British Columbia and have better prospects in Alberta than in recent elections”

EKOS Politics · Race Highly Stable as Liberals Maintain 12.5-Point Lead[Ottawa – April 11, 2025] The race appears to have settled into a holding pattern, with the Liberal Party maintaining a stable 13-point lead. Both our three-day and five-day rolls (the latter…

@Crispius I beg my fellow #Canadians to not let this #MAGA madness infect our fine country. Yes, the #Liberals are shifty. Yes, the #CPC make many good points. But putting a bunch of wannabe Trumpists in charge of the country would be a catastrophe. You don't have far to look to see the proof. Vote strategically!
All over the West voters have been fooled into believing they have a choice between right vs left politics, between corporate vs workers choices, between national social services and privatized services.
In truth there's only the alt-right wing and the lite-right wing. The Labour Party in the UK, like the Democrats in the US and the Liberals in Canada are essentially conservatives who hide their intentions under 'nice' words.

The #Liberals have a #candidate problem continued:
“The #Coalition’s (#LNP) election campaign is being dogged by a lengthening list of #CandidateIssues, the latest revelation that the contender (#JeffreyKidney) for the #Melbourne seat of #Wills pleaded #guilty to obtaining financial advantage by #deception and was ordered to pay #fines and #compensation worth more than $10,000.”
The poor quality of candidates is beginning to bite the Liberals.

The #Liberals have a candidate problem continued:
“Liberal #candidate #ScottYung and party officials have declined to answer detailed #questions about whether his use of #Chinese celebrities and a public relations firm in the 2019 #StateElection complied with official #guidelines, as the Liberal party confirms an #audit of campaign disclosures.
A private dinner at a “luxurious venue” in #Sydney to raise #CampaignFunds for Yung, featuring the former Liberal prime minister #TonyAbbott, has also been cancelled without explanation.”
…
“Wishing the talented young Chinese Mr #RongSicheng [Scott Yung] has great success ahead and a boundless future! All the best! I’m #ZhangTielin from #Beijing, #China.”
The cursed Liberal Christian name “Scott” strikes again.

An actual opposition party would be all over TV for the next 10 days reminding people of this #tariff bullshit, letting people know that #Congress has the power to end this, & getting to work on doing just that. Instead all that exists is the #DemocraticParty so none of this will happen.
Any “movement” that leads #protest back to the #DemocraticParty is, by definition, dangerous. Criticism of Donald Trump cannot be a defining feature of change.

#TheAmericanFascist uttered this morning.
“I’m proud to be the President for the workers, not the outsourcers; the President who stands up for Main Street, not Wall Street; who protects the middle class, not the political class; and who defends America, not trade cheaters all over the globe.”
The left wing social democratic forces of the world (including the #Liberals and #NDP in Canada) have been so neutered and brow beaten into incrementalism and neo-Liberal corporate capture, that a right wing, billionaire-wannabe, near-Nazi fascist, and politicians who want to be like him (Pierre Poillievre) have stolen the rallying cries of working men and women (but mostly men).
These were the warnings working people and socialist forces screamed when Free Trade and privatization was born by Reagan and Mulroney, Thatcher and Chirac. The de-unionization of western economies, the decimation of public infrastructure for private “partnerships”…
Now here we are, it all got so bad that the regular person, struggling to put inflated food on the table, or put their children through inflated college, are so fed up that they submit to the regressive, racist, anti-human, bloviations of populist tyrants.
A pox on you, “Liberals” and “Democrats” of the world.
You chose corporations while you placated people with false promises and false hopes.
You enabled the worst of the human condition through complacency and greed.
Your limp, unconvincing defence of Liberalism and Democratic values destroyed both.
What will you do to win back the podium to speak for working people? Perhaps you don’t deserve to.

Pure, unadulterated evil.
Americans will never fight on behalf of their victims outside #America or even inside in #America in their #community.
People & shit like this are always there to remind me & others why we got here & preciously why #America deserve #Trump after destroying 90% of the #Infrastructure in #Gaza & #Palestine and murdering 200,000 to 300,000 #Palestinians in a #genocide!
Thank you, #Libs.

I'm not interested in #communists holding power just to hold it for no reason. I want them to make transformative #actions that improve society's well-being. What's the point of winning just to win? #AOC has been one of the least productive members of #Congress since she was elected.
Continued thread
This is what the social democrats who keep telling me "at least we're getting somewhere" don't seem to understand. Holding power doesn't mean anything if you don't actually do something beneficial with that #power. What's the point of "winning" if nothing comes out of it?
Continued thread
Say what you want about #communists but most of them don't sell out their beliefs. Communists fight for the right things because they're the right things to fight for not because they feel they need to win some popularity contest.
Continued thread
This is also what I mean when I say liberals sell-out too easily. They're too willing to compromise on their ideals. If they think being more #conservative is the way to win #elections, then they move further right to try to appease these people.
Continued thread
They'll blame everyone under the sun for their losses except themselves. Zero concept of #accountability.
