There are so many comments on the US election from people who have zero participation in it.
By itself that’s fine, but point it out please. “I’m not a US voter, but” or something. I get these bizarre takes that make sense only after realizing the commenter isn’t familiar with US elections - which is good news. Because what I’m used to are bizarre takes from people who are (or should be) familiar with them.
I wish the rest of the world could just ignore your spectacular brand of stupidity but unfortunately things that happen in the US affect the rest of the world. Would be quite happy if that were not the case, but you lot tend to get the rest of the West embroiled in stupid wars.
When candidates start attempting to changed the governmental system by force, with violence… A death… And still have the idiotic in the country support him… it forces us to take note.
I would argue the same would be true if someone like this existed in British politics.
It might be due to the fact that I mostly consume media in English, but I hear more about US elections than I heard about the EU parliament elections which were last month. A lot of people are interested, and for good reasons - it’s going to influence much more than US itself. I don’t think you can go back to keeping your elections to yourself without keeping your military, pop cultural and corporate influence to yourself aswell.
No and that’s totally valid, but when I see something like “Joe Biden should do X or he’s going to lose the vote!” My immediate context fir that is that it’s a US voter saying that. So my response might be something like, “you moron, he obviously can’t do that because of the Bollocks vs. Chowderhead decision of 1972.”
BUT - If I were aware that they were saying that as an interested observer from another country, I could say”oh, well here it’s different because of Bollocks. See what had happened was . . .”

It’s just a fundamentally different conversation.
Well said…
Yeah it makes complete sense. They aren’t arguing one side over the other…
They are arguing the simple principle of whether Americans should vote for a king who tried to take powers or not.
It’s relevant to the lives of the world sine the moment so much evidence has been proved against trump.
