Don't you think it's quite ironic that the subject I’m trying to avoid is being discussed in this post?

The United States president impacts countries around the globe.
Indirectly at best. Either way, what the fuck am i supposed to do with polling numbers in some US state or the latest despicable thing republicans say? I don't vote in your election. Might as well declutter my feed from irrelevant info and acknowledge the result when it is over
Exactly this and the mass spam around it as soon as something happens. I get that it's important but a bit annoying for a European to be constantly confronted with.
Ah so if you judge the effects as "indirectly" then they can safely be ignored. All I did was point out a simple truth
With the implication that i should care about your election because of it, which still makes no sense for anyone not voting in your election, which sums up to about everyone outside of the exceptionalism capital.
I never said you should care about every news story, I said the united states affects other countries, which it absolutely does. That was in response to someone saying the US elections are not something they care about because it didn't affect them. But sure, it's not the fact that the effects exist, no it's just that I think my country is better than every other country. Spoiler alert, I've known for a long time it's not, at all.
Assholes on the internet love to assume random shit to hate people for. It true makes the world a grimmer place.
Fair enough, though I must say that for me personally, as a german, nothing at all has changed in my life between having Obama, trump or Biden in office. Of course, what goes on politically in the states eventually affects the climate here as well, I was just arguing that not caring for the day to day business of foreign domestic politics is fine. Perhaps we argued over different things unintentionally.
What you are saying has some truth to it, but I don't believe that just because you're unable to name the effects makes them non-existent. There are still things today that Reagan unleashed on the world which people aren't necessarily cognizant of, but they are still there.
you guys are insane! nobody gives a shit, Were all just sorry for yall.
Sounds like it.
As non-American I can’t vote in the US election and it gets real annoying to have every other post be one about how trump said some dumb bullshit
Have you tried a client that you can filter posts by keyword? You could just add trump or something similar to your filtered word list.
