Because he has money, and you don’t.

3 post, no comments. Less than a day old. You a bot?
But I’m American and I’m not taking his advice. He’s a moron.

I gotta say, from an Australian perspective, American politics is so extra, like an ex heroin Addict becoming the health minister, and some coked up orange business man who thinks he’s the second coming of Christ is the president?
Aussie politics is just a boring ass democracy with some of the spicy American inspired silliness for the aesthetics, as well as most people being on the same page but like 2 politicians arguing about some insignificant idea somehow appearing on national news, or that group of people who want Albanese dead for just existing, which is a bit odd I gotta say.

Didn’t one of your politicians order the arson of an aussie youtuber’s house?

Actually yeah, John Barilaro was the NSW Deputy Premier at the time, who had joined the Coronation Property development company (which was allegedly connected to gangs if I’m not mistaken), and when Friendly Jordies, the YouTuber in question, exposed the NSW Nationals Party’s actions to basically sabotage a town they were voted into as a way to drive out younger voters (basically to guarantee them a seat in parliament indefinitely), Barilaro allegedly ordered the fire bombing of Jordies house, but they botched it and fire bombed the neighbours house, then went back to hit the correct house.
I did do a little bit of researching to refresh my mind on it (since I saw the whole saga around 2 or 3 years ago), and turns out Barilaro apparently wasn’t connected to the attacks, but then again, the timing is kinda suspicious how Friendly Jordies’ house was fire bombed in 2022, the same year Barilaro was employed with the developer, although I’ll just leave that as speculation.
Honestly though, this has gotta be one of the rare occasions of when politics here is genuinely really interesting and kinda deranged, and I haven’t really heard issues like this to this calibre here.

Former heroin addict. Now say that in the RFK voice.

There’s a half-naked photo of him, where he’s swole, then people decided he looked “healthy”, because the body building community managed to control the narrative around the health implications of the sport.
