Medicine? You mean like those handled by Obamacare which Trump wants to get rid of? From my understanding that was a huge change (here in Australia we have Medicare which is life changing and similar)
Also, if you're getting replaced by people from another country (who have a huge disadvantage), I'd argue maybe you need to work on improving yourself.
That being said, she's also increasing the minimum wage and taxing the rich more (whilst reducing tax for middle class and poor). So even minimum wage people are hugely better off.
Trumps bs has caused issues internationally, even here in Australia. I don't think you realise how much he is fucking things up for normal people worldwide
Worry about Australia don't worry about a country you cant vote on or live in.
If Trump wins, I'd be happy to have political refugees from the US personally
And it actually affects us too. All Trump's shitty racism, bigotry, anti vaccine agenda is being reinforced worldwide because he's an idiot. And he's showing our absolutely crap political parties what they can get away with (and they're using him as an example).
For our military, don't forget, he's giving away confidential military secrets too (I have a friend in the military, and he is putting her at risk).
This is bigger than the US. It doesn't affect me as much, but i also have friends in the US
Also I'm fairly sure I could get a job in the US and residency if i wanted
