    WTF even is this?

    This looks like a lazy Australian remake of a stupid USian meme.

    The fact that voting for the Greens in Australia is actually a meaningful thing, in that it can put candidates in government. Pretty much negates the whole concept of this garbage.

    Anyway voting is in itself not the problem. Relying on voting as the only avenue for change is the problem. Expecting inattentive voters to see past the daily propaganda they are exposed to and vote for meaningful change is the problem. Expecting cynical voters to see past both of these issues is the problem.

    Shit Governments, with member controlled by vested interests is the symptom, not the cause.

      Greens candidates can only ever slow decay, they are not and never will be a solution.

      Energy wasted pushing for electoral reform is effort taken away from revolutionary means. Spend your 15 minutes at the polls every 4 years, understand you’re not going to fix anything this way, get your sausage, and go home to do anything more useful.
