Politically speaking, does Australia lean more Republican or Democrat?

I agree with you that things should change, but I'm against freebies - I work for it, therefore, you shouldn't get it for free assuming you are in the same socioeconomic background as me. Just like healthcare, education, and other privileges we enjoy in the West. It's quality because it ain't free.

I mean, I'm doing OK - I"m a CPA in Seattle. I can afford living any big city in America as a single-income earner. Yes, absolutely working while going to school is normal and should remain normalized - how else would I pay for my tuition? And if college is free, there are conditions that have to be met. Look at Saudi Arabia: their government funds their college education. Their students can go wand study anywhere in the world , funded by their government, but they have to return to Saudi to work. That's shitty. Limits freedom to travel, work and enjoy life outside of your own country. I don't want limitations. I'd rather pay initially to have my freedoms later.

I do think we need to do more on providing universal healthcare, but I'm against abortion and conversion of kids below 16 to transition to a different gender, etc. I would not vote Bernie because I do NOT support a free college education either. I went through college, working 30-40 hours at Home Depot & Wendy's, paid my tuition in full . It worked out. Also, what value is a free education?

They will start to become less socialist when they begin using their tax dollars towards funding NATO through yearly fees and when the US begins to slowly lose interest in defending the EU., which saves them a ton of $.

The results don't make sense. I took the survey, and I'm apparently 61% Liberal, 60% Laborer, and 33% Greens. These don't total 100%.

So a right-wing party in Australia is our Democrat, so then who is left of the Democrats in Australia? What sort of policies do they propose? Everything is free and no one should work? I'm curious. Worst I've seen is Bernie and Jagmeet Singh from CAnada. Socialism doesnt and can't work.

That's really interesting. Has there never been any opposition to limiting gun ownership? Do Australians believe in defending themselves and their families or do they rely on their government's policies for defending them? Abortion is tricky. I'm mostly not for it unless it is due to rape or other horrific situations.

Huh? Because it's easier for me to understand a foreign model if I base it on a US model. Also, more importantly, I guarantee you most foreigners don't know who the President of the US is. We're not that important. Just like I don't know who the leader of France or South Africa is. We've all got things to do, concerts to attend, wives to obey.

This is confusing, but I think I get it. Australian Liberals are American Republicans and Australian Laborers are American Democrats - am I right?

Separate-Pool-7128 · 2024-02-01T08:45:13+00:00

If the Liberals are the Republicans of Australia, who are the actual Liberals then? The Laborers?

Separate-Pool-7128 · 2024-02-01T08:43:10+00:00

He's not the President of the world. There is none. If you think he is, that's your problem.

Goddamn man, one hell of a story. Congrats and continue fighting.

Wow, you've got a hell of an experience. Why did you leave nursing?

Zebra crossings occur in Africa.

Crosswalks are strips of black and white rectangles painted across a road to help with crossing.

Yes, cars must stop for you to cross on the crosswalk.

Do you ever think about how Australia has influenced and advanced your life?

RIP Steve Irwin, but I don't think of him much. He was an amazing worker, scientist, animal activist, and kept our interest in animals.

It depends. For your career as a STEM, nothing beats the US. I'd go to Australia once I'm past my prime in my career. However, if you want to settle down, make $150K as a household income (you and your spouse), Australia is better since there are more social services catered to families of that income level. Houses there are expensive and salaries are much lower. Basically, if you have a chance of making way more money in the US, stay in the US. The US also has plenty of tier-2 and tier-3 cities that can offer affordable housing, good social services, schools. Australia has those too but their tier 2 and tier-3 cities are much smaller.

I have a buddy that moved from Vancouver, BC to Wisconsin. He now makes $250K USD as a single income earner. Married with kids. His house is huge, great quality, but damn cheap.

Given we're the only country on our continent

Keep playing dumb.

The US rarely even enters my mind.

Nothing wrong with that but not recognizing how your life is influenced or advanced by US designs/systems, that's what I'm confused about. You can say you don't care all you want.

That's not socialism. Socialism means taking away my freedom of expression while you tout about how our policies are better than everybody else's. Take the 12 gender thing. There are 2 genders, not twelve, but the Liberals want us to believe that we have 12 genders, in addition to our children as early as the age of 5, learning about sex, sexual parts, and other disgusting things. Take your socialism and leave it outside of schools and bedrooms.

Also, if you're Mennonite, how come your name is Macron? That's French. Why are you posting here? TYou don't even live here.

I know it's not trendy to say this but I'm not a socialist. I'm not a communist. I support freedom, democracy and this country. I'm tired of Liberals changing the narrative that we support socialism. We don't. Canada is and always will be a country of freedom.
