> "They say I owe $2m. I don't! It's at least $4m. Do you know how successful you have to be to owe that kind of money?"
@Unionhawk i hope that's more a "Australia lets everyone have their say" and not "Australia is racist". if it's the latter we really need to clean that view up somehow
@Memor-X It's perhaps a stereotype that's made worse by people like bari weiss and others fleeing to austrailia to write vacuous pieces about how cool it is, and also the refugee island
I'm going to be honest all I know about austrailian politics for sure is you have three parties: the labor party (spelled the american way), the liberal party (conservatives), and the national party (which has been described as "the liberal party with a cowboy hat on")
And that anti-inmigrant stuff is a strong tendency
@Unionhawk if you're talking about the off-shore processing to be honest i'm for those. just that we could do alot more like put doctors on those islands, improve conditions and try and speed up the process without sacrificing security or improving the immigration/asylum process so that so many wont have to do it illegally by paying people smugglers
tactile - adjective: (of a person) given to touching other people, especially as an unselfconscious expression of sympathy or affection.
"he took her in his arms—he's a very tactile person"
ie. "I’m a tactile politician, always have been. That’s what gets me in trouble as well (because i keep touching people where/when they don't want me)"
Iowa voter stands: "I love Joe Biden. I think he’s served this country well. But I want youth…I hope he doesn’t get in."
Beto O’Rourke: “I have to disagree a bit. I think if Vice President Biden gets into the race, I think we could use his perspective."

Many of us spent days & days in 2017 arguing that the 👌🐸 racists were real, that they were dangerous, that their "irony" was a ploy. We were told again & again that we were crazy, that it was all a joke, we just didn't understand memes, we'd succumbed to paranoid delusions.
