Im thinking you accidentally quoted me in this response but if not, yes it is tribalism.Meh was always going to happen. People support political parties like they support their favourite sporting team. Most could have the leader of their preferred party come out and say he is going to shit on everyones head and they would still vote for him, while at the same time criticising the opposition leader for wanting to give everyone $1000 each out of his own pocket. Its tribalism and its dangerous tbh.
Me, Im a swinging voter, Ill vote for the party that most closely aligns with by beliefs and needs at the time.
However if this tribalism comment is directed at myself, I've got a very comprehensive clue about politics, because i actively follow it, i actively read economic analysis, i actively look at what governments implement instead of what they " just say".
The libs since howard have become a party devoid of ANY compassion for those doing it tough.
Their policies have always been directed to benefit the top end of town and take away services from those desperately in need.
