An Australian interested in US politics. Among other things. We have been allies for over 100yrs. Your politics has an influence on ours. You don't have to follow. I don't post very much. Moved from X as it was nasty.

I look at it as mandatory that you sign off that you have been provided the opportunity to vote as it puts the responsibility on Gov to make it easy to vote. If you don't want to vote you leave your ballot paper blank. Most don't though.

Australia has universal healthcare, paid for by a medicare levee, but private health insurance is encouraged. Some private health insurers are for profit & also cover dental, optical, physio etc. Some professions ie teachers, defence members, have not for profit insurance.

I see this movement of " they need us" into right wing US discourse. Threats may work in the short term but countries will adjust & eventually not trade with the US. Trade of soybeans to China never recovered (and I doubt will) after his last time. Short term gain for long term pain.

To be fair in all interviews with Trumpers they just talk over interviewees. They barely come up for air. X Newsmax and Fox only give 1 side. Very hard to combat.

Yes I check out accounts, before I follow. They are sneaky though. Or should I say desperate.

Please google what Pine Gap does for US defence. I get you're tired of costly healthcare. Countries that have universal healthcare pay for it through their taxes. It isn't free but is affordable. Sadly a lot of US thinks it's socialised medicine & therefore bad. I hope you get something.

I'm tired of the US threatening it's allies by breaking long held agreements. Your allies turned up for you at cost to them. Not attack us that is very generous of you. US words will not be trusted. Would be happy if you left Pine Gap though. It puts a target on our back.
