Don't be so harsh on the non-voters. Many working class people are unable to get out of work on a weekday while the middle-class right can take paid leave on election day. I'm not expecting this to change because certain people like it this way as it makes it easier for them to get elected.


That's a very good point. Democracy cannot function properly unless people can actually get to the polls.

Maybe the reason my country is more left leaning is because our elections are always held on a Sunday to ensure it doesn't conflict with most people's work.


... and because the Australian government punishes people for not voting.

Yes, I used to compare him to an orangutan, but I've since found out that orangutans are intelligent creatures. I'm not sure which animal I should use that sounds good in a sentence and is actually not very intelligent, so I just use the term Oompa Loompa. They seem pretty intelligent but they're fictional so whatever. They're also orange, so they fit from a visual standpoint. So yes, the way I talk about Trump has changed.


Why compare him to any animal?

He's a businessman who is so obsessed with money that he will let other people die in order to make more money. Just call him what he is. He's more dangerous than any beast, bug, fish or fowl.
