A place for Australians and friends to share news from the other countries. Like all communities here, we discuss topics from the Australian perspective.

If you're looking for a global /c/worldnews instead, search for the many options on federated instances.

Rules

Follow the aussie.zone rules
We are not a generic World News clone. News must be relevant to Australians and our region. Obvious disregard will earn an warning and then a ban if continued. (If an article isn't from an Oceanian news outlet, and it doesn’t mention Australia, then it’s probably off-topic)
Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.

A third-party candidate could cost Kamala Harris votes in a key state. It might be enough to hand victory to Donald Trump | ABC News (www.abc.net.au)

There are orders of magnitude more nonvoters than third party voters. The nonvoters swing elections, not third party voters.

I am yet to find a single us presidential election with only two candidates. Third parties have and will always exist. Any candidate who doesn't account for this fact is irresponsible.

If harris loses its her fault and no one else's.
