The Nov 6 election returned both a popular vote and huge electoral victory for maga, The GOP made gains almost everywhere, and 6 million , or so, Biden voters didn’t bother to vote.
Hence, those inside America chose.
I preferred my original few words, but hey.
Fee-fees.
The posts you reply to have been deleted, but I’m assuming it’s talking about “taking responsibilities about the people’s vote” based on this single quote…
From a foreigner perspective it’s hard to imagine how a federal election is perceived for Americans, because your country is so big with so many states that have completely different mindset and economics.
In Europe we have a shared parliament that works on making compromises on some topics, but I guess a global referendum would be a huge mess too.
To be fair (French here), we love to make fun of your elections but ours in not much better.
We elect our president in two rounds and only keep the two best candidates for the second round. So if every candidates has around 10% of votes, two rather niche candidates could get to second round. To avoid this, it means that candidates that have compatible-ish ideas should team up on compromises but apparently that’s not a competitive strategy (compromises make you look weak maybe ? 🤷)
So yeah, we can also have weird results. But at least we have a large panel of ideas that gets represented-ish (our society gets more and more polarized too, and this is frightening).
I’m gonna guess this might be different 4 years from now. I would think it’s in the best interest of other countries to lessen their dependence on the USA for certain things.
are you watching from outside or inside? i got the feeling one is less stressful than the other
It’s stressful enough from the outside 😰
For someone with family ties in Ukraine, being on the outside is still incredibly terrifying. Let alone that Muskfuck is now promoting AFD
From the outside I’m mostly concerned about the future of the NATO alliance. Trump threatening to annex NATO allies wasn’t on my bingo card.
Those on the inside made their choices, fearing paper tigers whilst being eaten by leopards as they implode.
You are definitely a mad ass hatter to imply that a significant portion of PoC and/or LGBTQ people wanted this.
Where?
Could easily be read as “everyone in the US supports this nonsense”.
Sure thing, stretch.

Realistically you can become president of the US with 22% of the population. https://youtu.be/7wC42HgLA4k For more information.

hey, i voted no to facism
Very far on the outside.
When America gets sick, the whole world coughs.
Sadly we’re all in the inside of this one
Sometimes you have to cut out the cancer and then let it heal.
