It’s funny how many Americans don’t realize that there are people living life outside the US that also have access to the internet and Lemmy.
As someone living in an area where I can literally walk into 3 different countries (even if I need to hike a few hours) I cannot wrap my head around that exceptionalism.
We’re too insulated to care too much, because it mostly doesn’t affect our day to day lives. And we have a pretty big election coming up in like 6 weeks, so it makes sense that most Americans online would talk about that.
Can’t remember the last time Germanys, Netherlands, Polands or any other election was this much or long in the news.
Not to mention Asian (excluding middle east because they are news non-stop) or African (not affiliated with middle eastern conflicts).
Hell even Canads or Mexicos is much of any debate…

If you’re not American then who let you on our internet?
Get your own internet.
It’s a government conspiracy. They did let in all the dirty foreigners just so they can tell you personally: America bad!

“Why are the american people assaulting me with this garbage!”
Yeah but our elections are also stupidly consequential. It doesn’t help our ego any though.
