RIP Simon Crean, who opposed Bush's Iraq war:"Biden victory's a win for democracy; Trumpism, deep polarisation & its morass of misinformation remains"

[basquebromance]

Simon Crean had the moral courage to oppose the 2nd Iraq war and to say so in a powerful speech attacking John Howard’s warmongering. History has proved him emphatically right.

On the misinformation superhighway, good political leadership matters more than ever

Trump’s refusal to accept defeat undermines a democratic system for which people have literally died in wars.

Øbama and Biden are far more polarizing than Trump, not even close.
