Vance vs Shapiro in 4 years should be decent. Two people who can hold a conversation and debate policy without insulting each other.
I expect him to be on the republican ticket in 4 years, potentially as a current president. He has completed many long form interviews and had many long form conversations about policy, something that the other candidates haven't really done. Shapiro is incredibly sharp so hopefully it is a more interesting election than he's a nazi, she's a commie, etc.
But they are always going to be judged by different standards because voting isn’t compulsory. The heavy lifting for the Harris campaign was to convince democrats to actually turn out and vote. Given the democrats have been on the nose themselves with a lot of left-leaning voters for years, convincing people Trump was bad wasn’t going to cut it. They already knew that. They needed reasons to turn out and believe in Harris. Admittedly that was tough because she was never voted into that position and it’s easy with hindsight but that was another error from the democrats.
The two really aren't comparable. A Republican said he met the criteria of fascist. Harris mentioned it maybe a couple of times.
Trump supporters would say the exact same thing about him. Again I don’t like him and wouldn’t vote for him or the Republican Party if I was American. But if the next 4 years is spent telling people who either voted for Trump or just didn’t vote at all how dumb they are it’s gonna give the Republicans a pretty good head start next time around.
At least Albo isn't a control freak and doing things that god told him to do. Hopefully Dutton doesn't get in, he's actually dangerous like old Tony.But now we have Albanese, then god knows who after that, Dutton
Dutton is extremely dangerous, far more than Abbot imo. Admittedly that's a view based on limited information from the other side of the world but I can't imagine he's changed much over the years. The attack dog could be in charge.
