Both parties are fascist.
Respectfully, I didn’t say the democrats weren’t!
Im Australian so have only been looking from the outside in (for a very long time). I also have quite a lot to say about how politics are run in Australia as well as many European parliaments.
I would personally classify Democrats as a Conservative Party. Have always found it very odd that progressive policies are used against them by Republicans when that’s the last thing they represent.
Yes, I very much will say that the Republican Party openly flirts with fascism and has done so increasingly for a couple of decades now. Party before people. Mitch McConnell is a (somewhat) living example.
Sadly the Democrats have relied on being the lesser of two evils for too long. And to be quite frank, the bigger issue that Americans are faced with is that they seemingly only have two choices to vote for if they want to vote at all. Yet the establishment stills screams about the benefit of a two party system.
Thats the insanity for me. How can only two parties benefit 300+ million people?
Anyhow, I don’t mean to insult the American posters here.

Does grievance and revenge count?
Those and outright fascism too.

I don´t agree with these two statements. I mean,if people wanted israel to exist, it´s ok with me, and maybe, it was a good way to solve a part of the mess that happened during the second world war.Or at least, a part of the mess. The problem is that they chose a land that already had people there. I have heard about other posibilities for the Israel state, like argentina or south africa (or in the south of africa, I don´t know). I don´t know why did they were also a posibility, I mean, people lived there already.
In a nutshell, the Jewish people had indigenous claims within Israel for many centuries. As did the Palestinians.
The topic of a Jewish state slowly became a serious political conversation in the 1800s with the Zionist movement. Jews were not welcomed in many parts of Europe, historically suffered various penalisations and antisemitism was common, similar to racism and homophobia of the times. Or Islamophobia today.
So in a way, yes WW2 and the holocaust brought it all to the fore and became something the Allied powers wanted to sort. The tragedy is that it should have been a two state solution from the start.
This post is not at all intended to support Israel’s actions in this latest round of war (I see the Israeli government’s actions as genocide), just to shed a very minor light on historical background.

Who would they choose? Kamala unfortunately is now a poisoned chalice.

Yeah but is that what they were created to do?
The UN is as powerful as the sum of its parts. When countries work together it can achieve more. There will always be a risk of stalling when major countries are obstinate.
At the very least it provides a public forum on a global scale. Dialogue is better than nothing.

Urgh, I hate when people do things like this. How irrelevant do you have to feel to do this? See a therapist like the rest of us.

Yeah Lachlan is even more conservative and toxic. If that’s even possible!

Madame X is a social media platform.

It’s when people like this die that you’re reminded how toxic masculinity and toxic ego has contributed to millennia of abuse and ignorance.
How fabulous he died in Pride month. Cunt.

don't know why but I feel sad when I look at Jessica
It is sad. We can all have issues with the way we look but these people take it to such an extreme. There’s such a myriad of issues going on underneath the skin. The irony is that her money would have been better spent on therapy and a personal trainer (gender reassignment aside). Not to mention the hospital addiction these people clearly have, they spend half their life in there surrounded by nurses etc.
And it won’t end well. The fact that she has an OF account implies her money must be precarious. A horrible cycle to be trapped in.

So glad Dan Andrew’s came through. He’s exactly they type of leader Australia needs. Left wing and actually does things!
I wish NSW Labor had a similar leader. I’m not so sure Dom will be turfed out next year.

Should the hips and BBL wobble that much??

Harry is not bald. William is.
Harry’s basically at the stage William was when people were screaming he needed to shave it.
He's lasted a few years longer but it’s all just pigeon feathers up there now, bar that solid front fringe which seems to run in the family of combovers.

Her poor profile

It will be interesting to see the conversation in 50 years time around how people got to this point and concept of what beauty is in 2022.

What is left for her to do? She’s done everything imaginable at this point.

Desperately hope that the conservatives will be shown the door but after the last election I really have low expectations for the Australian voting majority.
And I’ve also noticed a rise in ‘friends’ advocating the more extreme right wing parties like UAP. People who have otherwise been left wing who believe all the freedom/nationalist crap that comes from these charlatans. It depresses me.
Trumpian politics (down under remix)

We were warned that this would happen… and yet the marching over the cliff continues.
I really love the USA so I hope that enough people wake up before it’s too late. Sadly I think it’s going to get much more ugly.
Conservative people are scum.

2024 U.S. Presidential Election

And I think it’s tragic for anyone under 40 across the globe that the next US election is a vote between Biden and Trump.
And tragic for anyone over 40 that hoped for a more progressive space by 2024.
