James looks like he ' s still waiting for the camera man to say something stupid . that try me motherfucker look . <| sep |> I disagree , winning the argument is irrelevant if a large majority of the electorate don ' t care about the argument let alone the outcome . If winning the argument and holding the moral high ground was the yard stick for electoral success then the Liberals wouldn ' t of stood a chance of forming government in over a decade . Its the same in the U . S the democrats continue to win arguments and hold what they believe to be the moral high ground but that didn ' t stop them being thumped in the elections at every Federal level . What Labor , the Greens and the rest of the left fails to realize is the outrage on Facebook or within the bubble its what the media have begun to call it in the U . S and Australia that they live in , is that the echo chamber of progressive opinions they hold are not always shared by the rest of the country . The media gets a hold of a story for example , some minority group is allegedly being discriminated against , the media runs with it , there is public outcry from a very vocal minority and finally we have CEO ' s , celebrities or individuals making half hearted apologies at a press conference to satisfy public opinion . Meanwhile most Australian ' s don ' t give a shit , they are worrying about paying their mortgage or sending their kids to a good school . Let alone Australians at the poorer end of the spectrum who are worrying about putting petrol in the car for the next week and hoping that the old car doesn ' t finally give up the ghost after not being serviced for over 2 years .
