I’m gonna spam once more this and say that I have blocked all USA drama slop politics. I’m happy person with no forced feed USA politics drama slop in my feed. USA started all these wars in middle East, USA is killing the world, USA should pay for all the damages. No more fucking victims of USA.
The best part about the fall of the american empire is their news will eventually become irrelevant. British news was globally important the same as the US for a long time until their empire got old tired and bankrupt.
Soon democracy in the Untied States will be over and you won’t have to hear about elections in the Untied States for the foreseeable future
Think of it as your opportunity to delete social media and never return.
It will all change in November, …when GTA6 is released.
Brace yourself, “both sides same” is coming.
If we replaced First-past-the-post voting with something that let people transfer their votes if their preference didnt win, there wouldn’t be a spoiler effect.
Then multiple parties could compete on who can beat the Republicans the best. Debates could be held even if Republicans dont show up.
These crucial reforms arent front and center in every blue state, so the democrats want the spoiler effect. Democrats want things this way. Democrats want people who are unrepresented by the two party system to remain unrepresented, right alongside the republicans. Both sides want the two party system to exist.
Unfortunately for the two mainstream political parties, the United States of America is more important then either of them. We will begin to heal when people get the chance to vote for who represents us best. Yall get to decide when that begins. Choose wisely.
Normally this is where I would link some videos on the flaws of FPTP voting, and on much more representative electoral alternatives. Those times have past us by.
Good luck everyone.
Exhibit A.
No, we blew up those datacenters.
Unfortunately they’ll figure something out by then.
I like to spread that message, along with a helping of “there’s no point in voting, it’s all rigged anyway”, in right wing message boards.
People should vote, but how we vote is broken and we should have fixed it decades ago.
Peaceful revolution is not possible.
“Yes, we know you’re European, but you will gobble American politics down your throat and you will like it!”
“If you don’t want to see it you’re supporting the fascists”
Europeans spent 40 years trying to ignore American politics, and look where it got them.
Canadian, but you can’t ignore it because you guys won’t shut up about it or even keep US politics to US-specific communities
Europeans spent 500 years making everyone suffer for European politics and now they can’t handle that the feed on their pretty lights box isn’t about them.
It doesn’t need to be about either one of us. This is narcissistic thinking.
When something politically significant happens in the EU, it gets contained in the political community hell. When something politically significant happens in the USA, it’s forced everywhere and you can’t escape it even if you don’t give the slightest of fucks.
Since when? I see European shit on the All feed literally every single day.
No one forced you to click on this thread and then loudly complain about it. You chose to do both of those things.
Have you blocked all the political subs?
Edit: Also, I wasn’t referring to this post. I’m referring to the flood of American politics that is about to arrive soon.
This is not an insult or coming from a place of ego.
But.
The US affects more people globally than the EU. So news about what the biggest gun in the world is doing is going to go everywhere, since it affects everyone directly.
And with most of the users living in big gun land or effected by it, that info will spread. The EU doesn’t effect as many people, especially the US, so less people hear about it.
It’s gotta be about someone, and I’m not going to complain in fifty years when it’s all about China (because I’ll be dead)
In fairness, Europe was the punching bag of its neighbors for the 1000 years prior.
But otherwise, I gotta say, I’ve been hearing a lot more about global geopolitics as a matter of public interest generally speaking. All the Latin American elections are big news, especially with Brazil being the latest pink-tide domino to fail. The Pacific Rim states regularly make headlines. Everyone who has even a casual eye towards global affairs is keyed up on the BJP anti-democratic turn on the eve of India’s general election. Americans are watching with bated breath on every election from the UK to Hungary, given how they threaten to shape the Ukraine/Russia war.
If anything, American politics hasn’t been getting as much coverage by comparison. It’s weird not to have the entire month of October be one Surprise after another, during an election year. Hell, we skated right through prime Silly Season in August and everyone was too fixated on diesel prices and AI stocks to notice political bullshit.
Y’all got off easy this time.
In regards to your opener sentence: Bitch, what.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crusades

Hell, west Rome fell to other Europeans. Viking Age, Europeans. You had Charles Martel and his little moment at Tours but at the end of the day you’re just talking about neighbors going to war with each other which is just what neighboring regions do, historically.
The Crusades were a catastrophe for Europe and mostly a nuisance for the late Byzantine Empire. The victory of the First Crusade was almost an accident and that was the only one that might be considered successful.
Meanwhile, the Moorish conquest of Southern Europe began in 711 AD and lasted until the Columbian Era - practically the year European Colonialism began.
And The Golden Horde dominated Eastern Europe for 200 years, starting in 1240, after wrecking their way into Poland and turning back when they ran out of anything worth conquering.
Hell, west Rome fell to other Europeans. Viking Age, Europeans.
Because all the action was in the Eastern Empire. The West was functionally abandoned by the time it fell.
And that was after centuries of humiliation, all the way up through what would become France, England, and Spain.
You mean the Moopish conquest.
Wat. Macedonian empire? Roman Republic? Ancient Greece?
Yall ain’t even learning from our mistakes either.
I’ve been getting the same damn ads for candidates since early August.
It’s chill I’ll just pretend the politics threads are NFL division meme war communities. Roughly the same if you substitute the nouns.
Almost more civil, in fact…
Delete your Facebook, Insta, etc.
The Republicans are going to win and Trump won’t give the 5k
Maybe if people went out and voted… You know … Maybe not?
This is what I expect at this point.
But he said he was gonna be the money president
You’re right, you should use it MUCH less
Try Wiby instead
Social media? How about getting calls at the crack ass of dawn and multiple texts as well as garbage in the mail? I used to love this time of year, This is Halloween, but now it’s phone on silent–hill. FFS I can’t wait for it to stop. At least I know who to vote for; so and so is for socialistic policies, reject Komrade. Ugh sorry cousin, I will vote for Komrade and go bowling.
Edit: They literally wrote Komrade
