Q: In a study of Aussie political opinions / positions, what would happen if we were to decide the Harris v Trump election?

A: Harris by a landslide. Trump voters are atypical male One Nation supporters. Harris the rest.

What is the point of such a stupid comparison? We aren't living in the US and have nothing intelligent to offer on either candidate. One of the dumbest articles I have ever read. @hineyrulz could have written something about how he sniffs BA's farts and it would have been superior journalism.

Well of course it is a pointless exercise if the goal is to simply ask Aussies how they would vote in another country’s election.

However, what the survey reveals are broader ideological divides seen in global politics. For example, male One Nation voters—typically associated with more conservative and nationalist views—are likely to support Trump. This mirrors the kind of political alignment we see internationally, where populist or right-wing figures, like Trump, attract similar voter bases across different countries.

Those voters inclined towards populism or nationalism, regardless of country, may be more likely to support leaders like Trump, reflecting a faction in global politics.

It is topical in this country because Dutton campaigns on a platform of populism and nationalism. Ironically the politicians who actually reflect the ideals closest to the father of the liberal party, Menzies, are those independents referred to as Teals. Those economic conservative, yet socially responsible politicians are considered a “joke” by the conservatives these days.

I’m very creative when I want to be, just like journos from the MSM.

Of course it was, but Joe wasn't about to bring it up on account of glass houses and shit. ( nor anyone cheering him on )

It's pretty obvious Trump is about done. Compare his stump speeches now to what they were in 2016, or 2020. He's so low energy by comparison nowadays.

Trump looks done as well we can agree on that, it’s embarrassing that the two options are a narcissistic hateful old man or a dopey giggling Jackal. And we complain about our leaders.

What's f**king crazy is that the Dems continued to run with Biden for so long, surely they would have known how disillusioned a lot of their base was, and it shows in the polling now.
