Being left of extreme right is not a bad thing!

That’s my point; the abc shouldn’t be seen to have any political leanings.

Especially, when their getting paid by taxpayers of all persuasions.

I agree whole heartedly but most see them as left due to them not being one of ruperts or kerry's right wing rags or electronic outlets. It is like the arument between Fox and say the washington post, we see and hear what suits our leanings!

Absolutely nailed it Grump. Its called confirmation bias which means we filter out any information that does not comply with our view of the world. Views have become a lot more polarised since Trump came to power and I find any "debate" on political issues generally descends into people bunkering down on their own opinions and using labels on people who have the other points of view ( I include myself in this category but at least I am aware of it and try and understand where others are coming from). This makes political debate a bit pointless in my opinion.

Like sure you will not change many people’s minds about Trump but if you are against him you have to come out and say it and why.

I am against him because he is clearly not interested in the truth and I think a us president should be at least interested in it. I mean they all lie and sometimes try and cover up the truth but at least the truth is a concept for them.

That's a strong argument Stand. Good stuff mate.

That's an obvious statement but I wasn't mentioning extremes. Now that you have I would like to point out that the extreme left has caused a lot more death and misery than the extreme right.

Does an extreme left exist? what sort of horrible things are they doing - saying we should be more like Denmark?

Well said STT, while on Trump, it's clear he's feeling the heat with the up coming election, his fear of losing is mounting. Today he's calling for the election to be delayed because, in his words, it's all going to be rigged. Laughable really, if he wins its all good and above board, if he loses it was rigged, a fake election. FMD can this bloke get anymore dangerously rediculous?

And the alternative is? Please don't tell be the Democrat's. In case you missed it in the last 5 years China has been taking over the South China Sea, makes threats to it's trading partners and anyone else who dares question their human rights policies and ohh, did I mention Corona Virus?

That would be good Governance.

It's a bit of a worry as we see the US falling apart at the seams under Trump but sleepy Joe can hardly string 2 lucid words together...God help America as the next 4 years is going to be interesting which ever way it goes.

At least Biden appears to be sane BC
