Having talked to my Aussie friends, a lot of it take it as an unserious joke if they have to do it, which is arguably worse than not voting to me. Idk, there’s an advantage to an electorate having a general amount of election literacy I think

That said thats just my experience and others can have other experiences.

That’s just not true though.

What you’re saying implies that the central banks of every other nation are stronger than the American central bank, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to put inflate the dollar with their policies.

Which they don’t. In fact, we see the opposite, with the American central bank actually crushing every other country in restricting money to fight inflation, primarily due to the fact that the American central bank is the strongest one in the world, for better or for worse.

American dollar: stronger against world currencies than pretty much ever

You: The fed is causing inflation!
