Apparently 'extreme' according to Peter Dutton is Australia voting with 156 countries (and many allied nations/partners) at the UN. It's extreme now to be on the right side of an issue, along with the vast majority of the world, because Israel and the US don't agree.

🚨1/ This New York Times piece is wild. Let's go through it.

The whole “I hope activists who didn’t vote for Kamala suffer more” sentiment is dumb and makes people look craven. If you’re upset that Trump is going to make things worse, you shouldn’t be going “hell yeah those worse things should hurt the people I’m mad at too”
