    Why are you in this thread if you’re not even American? This is obviously about the US elections.

      I personally care because most of my family is American and because Canadian politics often echo what’s going on in the U.S. Pierre Polievre wouldn’t be seeing as much success if he didn’t have Trump’s culture war nonsense to use as inspiration. A lot of people outside of America still care very much about U.S. politics because it does have an effect on global affairs.

      Because Lemmy isn’t a US-only social network?

            Disregard these gatekeepers.

            This is an online discussion forum for public discussions.

            I see these comments around here, like wtf people getting policing what and where people are commenting.

            Childish behavior.

              Why do you care if the person you voted for wins?

              Someone is trying to gatekeep, that’s for sure.

                You…clearly misunderstood my initial post, and that’s really funny.

                My point isn’t that you shouldn’t care if they win or not. That’s absolutely ridiculous. My point is that you shouldn’t choose to vote for someone purely because they have a chance of winning, over someone that aligns better with your political views.

                Sometimes I can’t believe this app is free…

                Other people are entitled to have opinions about US system and participate in discussion as they see fit.

              It’s honestly a little embarrassing to see Lemmy struggle so much with this kind of thing. Even Reddit was never this bad…
