I’ll leave for awhile whilst your brain cells work it out. There is a difference can you spot it?
Good Idea. Have a long lay down and take your medication.

I agree
I can spot the difference, Musk was motioning that it was coming from the heart, Tampon Tim was doing a Nazi salute.
What's the problem.

Either you are:
  1. Incredibly, monumentally stupid, if you really think that there is any comparison between their actions
  2. Trolling Disingenuously
  3. A combination of 1 & 2
Which is it?

Yeah we all had you supporting Musk doing a Nazi salute, I'm sure it was nostalgic.
 
So Democracy is only unfortunate when it doesn't suit Henny Penny Jenny views on the candidates/Party?
Democracy is something you and your little friends clearly don’t understand. Perhaps you could do some research? What is happening in the US right now is far from democracy. Indeed, you would like the same to happen here. There’s nothing democratic about taking people’s rights away. NOTHING.

No it's you that obviously doesn't understand what democracy is...the voters have spoken in a democratic election and their preferred President was Donald Trump not Kamala Harris. Maybe you should avail yourself to the dictionary...


Is the United States a democracy or a republic?
The United States is both a democracy and a republic. Democracies and republics are both forms of government in which supreme power resides in the citizens. The word republic refers specifically to a government in which those citizens elect representatives who govern according to the law. The word democracy can refer to this same kind of representational government, or it can refer instead to what is also called a direct democracy, in which the citizens themselves participate in the act of governing directly.
What is the basic meaning of democracy?
The word democracy most often refers to a form of government in which people choose leaders by voting.
What is a democratic system of government?

A democratic system of government is a form of government in which supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodic free elections.
 
My feel is that the people that care about this are going to vote conservative regardless. I'm not sure it moved the needle much when Democrats did something similar.


Good point.

And this is the insane thing about spectating US politics from an Australian perspective.

By any metric and for anyone with even a basic understanding of the political spectrum, the Democrats were running a centre-right policy platform heading into this election. Particularly with regards to immigration. If you were to draw up a vote compass, they would sit somewhere between the Australian Labor and Liberal parties.

If you're an Australian Labor voter, you'd probably find some of their policies a little too conservative. If you're an Australian Liberal voter, you'd probably find some of their policies a little too progressive. But there's definitely a lot of common middle ground that supporters of both major Australian political parties would agree with if they were honest with themselves.

Take universal access to healthcare or sensible gun laws as an example. These issues were settled decades ago in Australia, have bipartisan support from both sides of politics, and are not even remotely up for debate. In the US, support for this is considered one of the most extreme forms of communism, and yet you have Australian Liberal party voters watching the US election and regurgitating this nonsense.

This is what happens when you cheerlead for political parties like a football team, and don't step back and think what your actual values and principles are.
