I have a theory as to why people in my country discuss US politics more than our own. People want to talk about something more 'important' than the latest reality talent show, but don't want to risk talking about local politics. US politics is square in the middle, splashed across our feeds constantly.

I just can't wait until elections continue their downward spiral, and presidential candidates need to sing country songs to Snoop Dog so they don't get voted off the island.
