This thread is such a disappointment.
Those who want change, the Yes side need to grow the fuck up and stop being so easily played by those with malign goals.
I'm referring to those, some of whom I've had beers with and call mates, who are lashing out with personal attacks and calling the No side chunts, bogans, racists, etc. Try to be a bit more sophisticated and mature about politics. The childish shit that you're acting out is PRECISELY the response the Duttons of this world want. Your abuse of the opposing side does noting more than polarise and calcify the politics we have today. The United States is stuck in 2016 and all that does is benefit the Trumpers - they'll never desert the MAGA side because they are seen as the enemy, and that is perfect for Trump. All you do when you lash out is ensure that Dutton's base remains loyal and confirm that the politics of division is a successful strategy for political opportunists. Try to be a little smarter and little more sophisticated.
Sure, being viscerally personal with your response is cathartic, but it's myopic and completely lacks strategic intelligence. It's like you're not only sticking your dick in a bear trap but trying your hardest to fuck it after it's snapped shut. And while you're at it, google "active measures" and then have a think about the potential damage you're doing to the national interest by deepening the divide.
I'm not innocent of acting in this way myself - reading back through this thread alone will unearth any number of posts from me talking all colours of shit about the opposing view. However, most people here look at the US and decry where it is today, we've all been doing so for 7 years now. Try and learn from that and do your part by not falling into the same trap. Move forward, not backward. Do what you can for positive change, don't be part of the negative.
I voted yes, obviously.
