Diary of the CEO had an interesting podcast about the democratic party.

Worth a listen

I was really enjoying his pod then he unleashed on Boris Johnson.
It got quite personal, Steven had an axe to grind and he came off petty

Find it increasingly difficult to care about American politics, and I severely judge fellow Australians who engage in it without knowing the respective members for their area for all three levels of government. However if you do and still care about US politics... well you're probably boring as shit to have a beer with but at least you're a real Australian who cares about their community (left or right - it's up to you, but at least engage with where your vote is ultimately going).

Australian politics is in your sphere of influence, American politics absolutely isn't - and I wager you'll never actively feel the affects in a proper tangible way whoever the President is over there.

Tldr. You have no right to quote, or even care about US politics if you don't have a locked down stance on your local area.

As far as my political standing in Australia, I have always taken pride in my views on the electiions and what happens in our country.As per the laws of Australian politics, I have never missed voting for a candidate that is up to protect our system.
Unlike many I do realise and under stand that I do not, elect our Prime Minister. There are many that do think they are voting as to who will be the next PM.
And also as per American politics, what happens there has a large effect on our country.Many decision they make have a flow on effect on our economy. Our pollies are jittery about Trumps call to place tariff on imports from all countries, especially China.
There is nmore to politics than justAustralia. I am no guru, but still take note of other countries.

Jake Fraser-McGurk again out cheaply. I know he's a highlight machine, but I just don't see any reason he should be getting picked for Australia.

Agree. Personally I think you need a level of technique (in terms of a technique that works i.e. Smith not necessarily textbook) and temperament to make it at international level in any format of the game.

Think JFM needs to focus more on batting and less on hitting boundaries at international level. He's trying to hit balls that aren't there for four and six. It's not going to work the same way it does at lower levels because at international level almost every bowler is an absolute gun in comparison to the worst bowlers at state level.

Yeah, stupid Americans

Because spelling is the only true measure of intelligence right?

Agree. The same could be said of any single variant analysis, like who someone voted for...

Yeah people who don't vote as you think they should are stupid. Great analysis,

Rather stab my ears out than listen to a minute of that self righteous campaigner.
