So just to make it clear socially democratic don’t believe a genocide is being committed against Palestinians.
These guys seem to have quite a narrow worldview
Nothing progressive or “socially democratic” about these morally-bankrupt, milquetoast careerists defending Israeli genocide and looking for a safe Labor seat to be parchuted into.
Thanks for the great chat with Lissie and for her preparedness to give us a look behind the curtain which was illuminating.
Also a belated thanks for her (& others) work during an extremely difficult period.
Despicable out of touch centrists with no moral compass, real world experience or understanding of average Australians & their material needs, DO NOT WATCH THIS GARBAGE
