More from Samaras:
“Why do some fixate on disinformation when digesting election results?
"1. It avoids self-reflection 2. It assumes everyone is interested in politics 3. It confirms a societal bias that people who do not agree with you are stupid, especially poorer folk 4. Some MPs, some media and the staffer class live separated lives from the lived experience of Australians. It helps to ignore this reality 5. It ignores the real reason disinformation works. It is believed if it aligns with a person’s voting intention and existing biases 6. It avoids having to alter campaign approaches that may force you to empower people who are culturally different 7. It helps with the sudden realisation that you belong to a minority.
"The fixation on disinformation also guarantees repeating the same mistakes next time.”

I'm not sure why you are posting those lessons to me Scott, you're the one that needs to learn from them. "Focussing on misinformation", that's all you've been doing since you lost. What misinformation have I fixated on?
Or, are you showing me the lessons you have learned?
