*raises hand*

If we aren't American, may we be excused?

[-] spujb@lemmy.cafe 49 points 6 months ago

no, actually, and there’s a reason:

in another thread here there were some non-us folk lecturing US democrats that voting “uncommitted” in the primary (where incumbents always sweep) as a message to Biden in protest of the genocide in Gaza is “fascist.”

i want everyone, even randos from Australia, to know what the process is if such lecturing is gonna happen so that discourse stops stooping to uninformed accusations (it happened multiple times lol)

That's fair. If it helps, I don't generally talk about US politics. Not my place (literally).

Tbh, the US has so much power and plays such an important role in the world that it is everyone's place. Sad things is that we don't have a vote on where the US is heading.
