Elections 2025-2026

Australia has had two Gen X Prime Ministers now; Morrison and Albanese.

It’s been a mixed bag. One vaguely competent Prime Minister, and Scott Morrison.

To be fair, Scotty was stretched a bit thin, being five different secret ministers as well.

When I was still on Facebook, I saw quite a bit of that among my old cohort, not just in the run up to 11/2016, but the Tea Party before that. I didn’t look at its details, but this poll could be correct… …about the previous decade.

On the other hand:

Compulsives, in other words, exhibit deficits in cognitive-behavioral integration. “It’s like they’re thinking, ‘Yeah, sure, Action A is good, Action B is bad… instead of a 50-50 split, I’ll do 60-40,’” said Dit Bressel. “They really should be going cold turkey and doing 100-0. An implication of the trajectory analysis we did is that no amount of action belief updating would get them to behave optimally. We need a way to improve how those beliefs translate to perceptions of what’s optimal.”

This study is not encouraging, like, at all.

Ugh. I don’t want to see magats take that seat but almost no one deserves to lose as hard as Lindsey Graham deserves to lose too. Those craven asses, and him specifically, literally caused this to happen to my country.

I hope they have a strong opponent on the dem ticket?

Sure would be nice if his face was eaten by leopards, then the GOP nominee went on to lose the general election. We can dream, anyway…

I’d guess that if he loses the primary, he’d run as an independent, and maybe that’d cause a split in the right wing vote… I’d be very happy to see a Democrat take a SC Senate seat!
