I'm not "attemping to spread" anything. I'm undecided on how I'm going to vote and I'm trying to decide.

Why do some of you guys just attribute everything you don't like to malice?

"Trying to decide"? Let's review the evidence:

  • Repeatedly asks the same textbook conservative No campaign questions in every thread.

  • Refuses to read any of the replies - even when they directly answer the questions being asked.

  • Openly lies and says no one has answered the questions, even when there is clear evidence to the contrary.

Hmm, I'm gonna go with a [X] Doubt on that one bro.

I'm not a "conservative". Have literally never voted for the LNP. I've voted for the greens more than I've voted for Labor in my 20+ years of voting.

Quit with the bullshit accusations.

What you call "answering the questions" is not what I consider an actual answer to the question being asked. The real answer as I know it now is "it's up to the government post referendum, and can change whenever the government at the time wants", but those aren't the "answers" being thrown around.

You're the person that said unless you've had a lived experience that makes you want to vote No, you should vote yes. That's ridiculous. Automatically assuming it's a good thing is dumb, though I'm not surprised with your "you're an undercover conservative running a fud campaign" comment.

I’m not a “conservative”.

I never said you were. Strawman harder.

What you call “answering the questions” is not what I consider an actual answer to the question being asked.

Someone literally gave you direct answers to all the questions you asked, as well as a link to where they could be found. You never replied to that comment. In fact, you straight up ignored it then continued to ask the same questions later as if they hadn't already been answered hours ago.

Automatically assuming it’s a good thing is dumb

Another strawman. Do you have anything of substance to say or is it just going to be crying from now on?

Lol we both know you were saying I’m a conservative by saying I’m just repeating conservative talking points. I believe you guys call it a “dog whistle”.

You said everyone that hasn’t had a lived experience that makes them vote no should vote yes. Where’s the straw man? What is it with you guys and incorrectly using your progressive perpetually offended sayings?

Nice fanfic.

This is not what I quoted and responded to. "Automatically assuming it’s a good thing" is an argument I never made.

I believe you guys call it a “dog whistle”.

What is it with you guys and incorrectly using your progressive perpetually offended sayings?

Finally taking that mask off?

Finally taking that mask off?

Finally admitting that you're a perpetually offended "progressive"?
