i do think its funny when biden evangelists say "not voting is how we got trump". amiguito hillary clinton won the popular vote by a margin in the millions. its not the fault of the dsa or jillnie stienders or whatever that the usa is a joke country with a political system that was set up to cater to the interests of 18th century farmers and slaveowners

realistically what actually matters to the actual biden campaign is undecided voters in like six states but if youve like emotionally seriously invested yourself in usamerican electoral politics you cant just say "if you're in arizona, wisconsin, pennsylvania, florida, nevada, or michigan VOTE otherwise do whatever who cares lol" because you have to pretend that the usa is a real democracy. very funny predicament to be in

Its rather telling when they go on about how "the rest of the world is still fucked no matter who is President, just look at Yemen or Gaza" while conspicuously not talking about the countries that want help and are getting help like Ukraine lol

Just some rando from outside the US with the "America bad" fixation (which is generally justified don't get me wrong) who doesn't understand how the US' politics are, quite literally, the most important politics on the planet in regards to where global events are concerned.

And, for anyone who wants to screech about "self-centered American thinks his country is the most important," just think about which nation is top dog militarily, economically, and politically. It's not boasting - it's just reality that a global superpowers politics are more consequential than a non-superpower.
