Kind of surprised I'm 80 and still standing - born a natural socialist/humanitarian despite being surrounded by racists, zenophobes, misogynists, patriarchal laws and social norms. Never excelled or even conquered anything in particular but I've explored

Wow. Let’s hope this happens again!! Cos after the 20 or so years it’s gonna take the Dems to repair, restore, reverse the MAGA actions and policies, they’ll have 30 years to implement drastic long overdue changes. Starting with the Electoral College!! And universal healthcare!! I’m excited!!

Thanks to Aukus we are now morphing into a US military outpost - won't be long before every state will have one or two US bases and it doesn't matter whether it's due to Labor's policies or Liberal - an inevitable outcome. We will lose what sovereignty we had or did we really ever have it anyway?

Don't like Marles but I dislike the thought of more "significant" US military bases in Australia. I keep wondering how many Aussies would welcome this "closer tie" bullshit and I realise the anti-US population in Australia is very small.
