@ewen @DropBear yeah, that makes him all the more dangerous. he doesn't have to be malicious, or ideological, or even particularly incompetent. he just has to be unable to meet the moment. moment after moment, he just has to be a little callow, a little soft, a little weak. the consequences are so much greater. labor are content to slouch against the overton window, content to be less harmful than the libs, seemingly unconcerned that their unwillingness to address issues, their inaction in the face of crisis, is handing the county to one nation.
so yeah, howard really fucked things for everyone, but the labor party under albo might end up with a worse legacy, as the party that was less attractive than the fascists.
