Why doesn't it ever stop

It's not just in the politics subs now, it's everywhere

Please, won't someone make it stop

You can try to ignore politics all you want but it'll fuck up your life anyway.

Not everyone lives in the USA you donkey. Your circus is EVERYWHERE and it's driving me insane. It's literally all you can talk about.

I don't live in the US and I'm as fed up with the whole shitshow as you are. But US politics unfortunately influences the entire world and if Trump gets elected everybody will suffer, no matter where they live.

It’s almost like US politics have a slight impact beyond the US.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

You know non USA people are not allowed to vote in the USA presidential election, right?

I don’t mean to be arrogant. But I assume you realize US politics have implications worldwide. That is why many people in many countries take interest in it. Maybe it would be a good thing if US politics only affected the US, but that doesn’t seem to be the current situation.

Where do you live? I bet the US has a military base either there or within one of your neighbors. Not to mention that the US has caused or perpetuates a lot of wars your country is probably involved in now or in the past, especially if you live anywhere in Europe (who are supporting things like Israel or are in NATO), Australia, Canada, Mexico, anywhere in South America, some African countries, or East Asia. The world reserve currency is also currently the dollar. And they are a major player in all of the major international organizations like the UN security Council (the only part of the UN with teeth), NATO, the IMF, and orgs like that.

US politics influence EVERYTHING.

If you don't live in the territory of the American Republic, don't worry, the American Empire aims to change that.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

And it'll fuck up your life if you don't ignore it either. Talking about politics online does not equate to political activism.

Welcome to Mr. Bones' Wild Ride, it never ends!

I want to get off Mr. John Adultman’s repeated explanations of why Biden needs to step down

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

It's only going to get worse for almost a year.
