Don't like Kamala... Californian, lawyer, tiktok, Hollywood connection and talks waffle.

Trump is worse...just loud mouth dishonest fantasy land self serving jumble.

I don't think the standard of political debate is anywhere near acceptable there. It's ugly, vacuous and dumb.

John McCain was probably my favourite politician. I reckon if he'd beaten Obama America wouldn't have ended up so divisive as they had similar platforms and it's easier for the Republican side to digest when it comes from their side. Similar to if Howard had beaten Rudd. Both sides back then had general agreement on environmental scheme. Just as it's easier now for Labor to cut NDIS funding, things only seem to work when the other side does it.

In Qld we had a really clear and interesting debate about crime, role of govt, spending with really clear policy. There was plenty of muck there too, but well done Australia!

Saw a guy with a trump flag on his car today. I find that embarrassing for our country as we're such fanboys for Americans, yet no one cares a jot about anything our own politicians say. I just reckon we should pay more attention to our own country and leave America to continue to trash their place.
Obama winning completely broke the right’s brain. A highly educated and intelligent black man, probably one of the best orators in modern history. Trump planted the seeds of insanity with birtherism to see how far they would grow, and they were off to the races. Funny thing I always note about Trump. For all his bluster and his wannabe tough guy persona, he never…..never…..never goes after Obama. All he’ll do is call him by his full name “Barrack HUSSEIN Obama”. Because in his tiny little brain, highlighting the fact Obama has a Middle Eastern middle name is a slam.
 
One more thought for the road. I’m sick to death of hearing from both sides that this will be the last election if the other one wins. It’s the most egregious lie. Life will go on regardless of who wins.

And with that, good night and good luck 🫡
 
Does anyone listen to sKamala.

She doesn't know how to answer any questions with substance.

Hopes aspiration Opportunity economy blah blah

honestly, is she a legitimate leader or just a DEI hire???
 
Because the idiot Albo mocked Trump and its gonna be awkward.

So did 2 former coalition leaders in Howard and Turnbull.I know some of the LNP dislike Turnbull but they mostly adore Howard and consider him the greatest LNP leader of the last 70 years.Trump will be a disaster if he gets elected for nearly all of the world including the USA and us

When they finally realised what the rest of the planet knew about Biden, they panicked. Don’t forget, it was only 4 months ago they were trying to tell us all that he was as sharp as a tack, was involved in every decision and would easily earn another term. When he fell on his face in that debate, they had to act and performed a coup. Remember how defiant he was? They brought in celebrities and ex presidents and they convinced him to walk away. It was ruthless treachery.
They left it so late that their options were minimal and understanding that their supporters will swallow any old lie, they went down the socialist path of DEI….a black woman. They just plopped her in there. She became a presidential candidate overnight with no platform or policies. No one had any say. Never once during her time as VP was there a groundswell behind her, yet now they speak about her as gods gift to politics. She is way way way out of her depth. She gets angry in interviews answering the easiest questions. She gets flustered when having to speak without a teleprompter. She has a script and she has memorised it but if she steers off course - much like Biden, she has no idea what’s going on.
She is not a real candidate and attacking her opponent is her only play….that and the lie that the Republicans are anti woman LMFAO!!!
All things considered, Trump should win easily, however a lot of people sympathetic to his side hate all this stuff and likely won’t or couldn’t be bothered to vote. We will know quite soon if they have been convinced to get out there and participate.
 
The fact that a large proportion of Americans adorn a man in his seventies who hasn't yet figured out that the orange spray tan is a ridiculous look before listening to anything that comes out of his mouth is beyond me.
I laughed at the Simpsons episode years ago couldn't believe it happened the first time - now it almost seems inevitable.

When you people always focus on his looks, it tells the rest of us that you have no argument about his presidency. Just that you hate him. Sad....

My only concern is that males aren't voting.

Considering he is big on disparaging others for their looks, and even saying the women who accused him of sexual assault weren’t pretty enough to rape, comments on him cosplaying as an Oompa Loompa are fair game.
 
What Trump does in his private/enterprise business is his to own. When you hand the keys over to one the world's largest powers everything matters including the way he presents himself.
His looks have nothing to do with anything.
Its is merely a rage point.
What he says matters. I can understand people not liking his views on things and critiquing the job he is doing but to stoop so low as to attack his physical appearance says far more about the person than him.

Like I said, it says far more about the person than the one being attacked. That goes both ways.
 
Politics is the last thing you should discuss, particularly where people are expressing views behind a keyboard. If I had to discuss politics with anyone, I would prefer to do it face to face. The American election is one of the most hate filled elections I have ever seen. All a political discussion based on the US will do is bring that hate to the forum. I am so disgusted by this I am leaving the forum. Go the Tigers, but I will not return to this site.
You know you will come back, they all do. 🤣

Obama and his 'wife' were the biggest con job ever played on America.
