Yeah no. Your choice has global impact. Sadly enough.

[–] [email protected] 61 points 6 months ago (3 children)

I mean, I follow the presidental race somewhat because it has global impact, but watching the debates is not worth my time, and I'm fairly certain it's not worth anyone's time, especially non-americans.

Plus it's unlikely to change anyone's mind. At this point you're either pro or anti Trump and you've had at least eight years to pick your side.

I will keep repeating this, Biden will be the reason Trump gets reelected. If he loves his country he needs to leave right fucking now. Democrats like him and Clinton are addicted to power. Bernie Sanders could have beaten Trump in both election but the democrats circles of power made sure to get the candidate they wanted. Old fool.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Sanders wouldn't stand a chance. Too many moderate Democrats would be terrified of the scary socialist madman.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 6 months ago

"The scary socialist madman" accompanied by the Democratic Party apparatus? A presidential candidate Sanders along with a moderate liberal VP would have gotten both the traditional Democratic vote (as long as the party collaborated with him, rather than giving him the Corbyn treatment, which I don't trust liberals not to do) and a considerable chunk of the electorate who doesn't feel represented by either party. The day you guys understand that you don't have to fight the Republicans in traditional terms, but rather, to change the coordinates of the fight, you'll force Republicans to choose between evolving or getting buried. But the real problem by this point is whether it is too late.

Its ... horrible how you treat your elderly in closed wards.

I shall avert my gaze.
Didn't mean to pry, it was just too loud to not notice it.

I'd rather look at our ... increasingly hard-right EU politics ... wait, that can't be right, wtf.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 6 months ago (3 children)

We used to say that conservative politics in the EU would still be considered left in the USA. Well, I‘m not so sure about that anymore.

Biden’s immigration policy is honestly a wet dream for most right extremists in Europe

Well I suppose the answer I'd give is that because of how right-wing the US is compared to much of the Western world, it becomes a patient zero for whatever the far-right is cooking up - which inevitably influences far-right groups in other Western countries

[–] [email protected] 34 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Word.

Putin planted his seed with Trump in his greatest enemy (democracy/America). It quickly caught on & has spread globally.

Hundreds of Billions of dollars in US defense hasn't done a thing to halt the attacks on democracy Putin has wraught with a few million spent on his troll army.

The man can't carry out a physical attack for shit, but his cyber attacks have no equal, only willing collaborators (Murdoch et al, the maga army).

As a French tho, do watch the debate between Gabriel Attal, Merdella and Manuel Bombard. See how Bompard (the left wing candidate) politely wipes the floor with both shitbags.

Is it the official French stance to omit the Oxford comma?

[–] [email protected] 88 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's only an Oxford comma if it's from the region of Oxford. Otherwise it's just sparkling interpunction.

Unfortunately, when America farts we're all forced to smell it. America wants Europeans to stay out of American business, buts that's rather difficult to do when that country demands to be the center of attention.

In german media there is so much content about america even I sometimes get confused whoch country I actually live in.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 6 months ago (1 children)

At least you can tell where something happens by place names, I get headlines '12 shot in Manchester gun fight' or 'Birmingham man kills 8 in roadrage incident' and there's just no way of telling it's America... OK, well those examples are obvious but the point stands.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 6 months ago (1 children)

In America that's barely even news

It's not that us outsiders like to watch your elections closely. But we need to since they're gonna have a big impact on the world we live in, whether we like to admit it or not.

We're so fucked it's absolutely insane.

I thought Trump had a chance before, but now... My god Biden embarrassed the shit out of himself... Fuck the goddamn DNC for condemning us by REFUSING to have primaries... Yeah it's the tradition because usually the incumbent has a chance, but 90472828 year old Biden? Ffs...

Yes Trump is old too but it was plain as day how much more lucid trump is than biden...

[–] [email protected] 48 points 6 months ago (6 children)

This might be a hot take but any leadership selection where candidates are ranked in terms of how lucid they are is a bad time for all involved.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 months ago

Being lucid is supposed to be a minimum requirement to even apply. But here we are.

Does it really count as "lucid" if you enunciate your lies, fabrications, misrecollections about... everything?

How is this fascist right wing shit show not a global debacle? Putin, Netenyahu, Bolsanaro, Trump, Modi... Italy & Germany both rolling right. North Korea (of course) jumping on the Russian bandwagon and Xinny the Pooh.

Does Britain's finally dumping the Tories (after a decade & a half+) make them one of the few to break left at this time on the global stage? {Something about broken clocks being right from time to time.}

This is comparable to a loud family feud carried out on the streets with yelling and throwing stuff at one another and then yelling at the shocked onlookers to move away.

As part of the CUSMA trade agreement, I think us Canadians and Mexicans are allotted one sigh of disappointment...

Como parte del acuerdo comercial T-MEC, creo que a los canadienses y los mexicanos se nos permite un solo suspiro de decepción...
