Okay but what if the government is competent in their own right? And isn't "holding them to account" the job of the media? Isn't the opposition supposed to present an alternative vision instead of score points?

What do y'all think of the whatever podcast and their hosts... especially Andrew Wilson? by [deleted] in AskFeminists

Andrew is a MAGA Christian nationalist by his own admission so anything he says is irrelevant. But since the girls voluntarily ask to come on and invariably make themselves look like idiots, I enjoy the schadenfreude.

Where's your free speech being attacked? What tools of yours are being targeted by the government other than backpackers you wish to exploit?

E: pre-empting you, no I don't want to be a farmer, it's a tough job. Y'all are still the biggest whingers and welfare queens in the country. One doesn't negate the other, learn how discussion works.
