I don’t have any interest in insulting you… and pretty much just too lazy to read your comment history.
I can’t speak for other Australians, bit I’m fascinated by US politics. It’s an absolute shit show and it serves as a cautionary tale for the rest of the world I think.
As to why we’re passionate about supporting biden… this is just supposition but:
Firstly voting in Australia is compulsory, so the idea of voting even if you’re not really enamoured with the options is more palatable. That said, we do have preferential voting so it’s not really the same.
Secondly the US is a close ally. US international policies are in many ways our own defacto policies. In some ways we would be burdened by a trump presidency.
Thirdly, and this is probably more “me” than Australians in general but I strongly believe that most conservative voters here are voting against their own interests for the wrong reasons, yet we seem to be leaning further and further to the right like everywhere else. I see criticism of Biden more or less the same way. They may be valid concerns but you still need the guy to win.
No problem, but we dont really have time for rubber neckers now.
Especially when they just wander into conversations, throw out opinions without actually living here or interacting with Americans and tell us what we need to do to get Americans to vote against trump.
You don’t actually know what’s happening here. Because you live on the literal.other side of the globe.
So as much as your interested in American, UK, pretty much the politics of every other English speaking country that you don’t live in…
Maybe you worry about Aussie politics first?
Or not. I don’t give a fuck
I’m blocking you the literal second I hit send on this.
Because:
we dont really have time for rubber neckers now
Especially when they’re super fucking motivated to convince people the only option is the literal worst option.

Of course I’m interested in Australian politics.
You might do well to take an interest in the politics of US allies yourself.
