It's just mind-boggling anyone can't see the difference.

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.

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.

You fool. Walz’s movement was very very different and you know it.

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.

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.

I’ve finally made the call - put 4 posters on ignore. Enough of their stupidity.
EB sometimes has something of value to offer in the football threads, even if he's just a disingenuous troll in the political threads. Most of the others have nothing to offer whatsoever, and have long been on my ignore list.

In our own state we recently had 2 years where people's rights were at the sole discretion of an unelected policeman who could rescind them at any time. What was your view of democracy back then?

Now lets take that a step further - Executive Orders are issued by the President (in terms of the Constitution) and whilst can be challenged in the courts etc, are supreme and can avoid the HOR and Senate (which are the houses of the people).
Thankfully we don’t have a President who can issue Executive Orders.

The state I live in .. I spent a grand total of 2 days where I couldn't go to work, but could still walk more than (500m? 1km? 2km? .. I can't even remember) from my home
Bottle shop and supermarkets were open
I've had 5 covid shots now with no discernible side effects (no f*cks given)
In fact I don't think I've ever even contracted covid

Why on earth would you think I would be in favour of something so illiberal? Be honest though, you'd have loved that level of surveillance for anyone breaking Covid rules.
