THE VOICE (Patreon Early Access)
[Early Access]
Hello Patrons, The referendum is less than a week away and here's the friendlyjordies video on the voice. We've focused how the media has treated the referendum and the implications of importing American style discourse surrounding politics. One or two sources to provide further background are missing from this early version of the video which is just for you. They'll be added in to the public release which will be very soon. We hope you enjoy it and thank you for your continued support! The FJ Crew.

I would have liked to have seen a more productive approach on this one. The impression I got from the video was that referendums are hard so lets not try. Politics is hard, doing what the FJ team does (referring to the in-depth videos obviously) is hard, life sometimes is hard, but this has never stopped you guys fighting for what's right. Respectfully, I think you got it wrong on this one.
I can understand why people might be disappointed with this but let's not be unrealistic, it'd be ridiculous to expect Jordan to address all the prominent No campaign lies in a video, especially since the lies are constantly shifting, being forgotten about, and reinvented.
Anyone who says "I'm leaving the country" whenever a politician they don't like runs for office or votes the opposite way is just as complicit in whatever nightmarish dystopia will come about. You're not proving a point, you're only proving that your morals are weak and you have no spine.
Real dissapointing video mate.
This is one of your best videos. No side taken and no quarter given. Everybody got shanked.
It’s a pretty good video, Jordan and team. I think it was a good way to go about it. Entertaining, making fun of idiots on both the Yes and No side.
And yet also managing to dodge the question when asked himself!
The time to be meta was a month ago. Where's the pitch and engaging the argument?
About time you made this video. Still not sure how you’re voting?
Yeah, I was a little confused by that too. Guess it's all moot now though
I’m sorry but this was a little disappointing and a bit of a missed opportunity, it’s a shame that none of the specific misinformation is addressed and deconstructed, or even just saying to vote yes. Even if you don’t care so much about the voice the referendum represents more than just a voice it’s about the future direction of our country to be about facts or just outlandish conspiracy
Recut the end of this, if you’re not gonna come out saying vote yes, then don’t even mention it.
Pretty ordinary. Lot of American stuff coming into an Australian referendum. Looked like you’re trying to appeal to a new US fan base.
Long time fan here! Good video and I can see the bigger picture you are concerned about and the importance. However, considering the Referendum is this week, it seems remiss to ignore the specific disinformation and misinformation points propagated by the No campaign as well as missing a chance to communicate an informed opinion on how you might vote based on the factual evidence available. It is also disappointing that my previous comment on here regarding this issue appears to have been removed after it received a few likes - an interesting approach after posting a video about truth and democracy but I am hoping this was an error or glitch somehow. I understand you may not wish to isolate yourselves from some of your audience but I do wonder why your opinion on this is so non-committal. You are such a strong voice for truth and justice in our country and seem to care about the disadvantaged in our communities. I encourage you to research and speak more on the actual issues regarding the Voice debate. Bless up X
I agree with this so strongly
Great video. Would be cool to add debunks to specific no campaign conspiracy arguments.
LNP have to double down on this to get any momentum for next election.I hope it gets up.
I wonder how hard they tried to keep Jordan away from the ricewine while recording this one.
Time to vote a hard 'maybe' then skip town
America is a cancer.
The disappointing thing is, the current people in Labor don't understand how difficulty it is to pass a referendum.... 1. A national majority. 2. Four out of six states voting Yes. The Liberals are going to use this as a political win... And it will just self-reaffirm the stupid side of the political spectrum.
I can see Albo turning the No Vote against the Liberals: A: There isn't full support in his party, the wets and former wet's are in the Yes camp B: The amount of disinformation that is so easily reputable, and now fully linked to the Liberals C: Young voters are majority supporting Yes, Liberals can't win without young voters
Anything with Bruce Willis pre 2022 in it is the thinking man’s something something.
Yes
