Like it or not, these guys can duck up the entire world pretty badly. I can’t afford to ignore it, even if I don’t live anywhere near the U.S.
What are you going to do with the knowledge of them fucking up their economy and voting for a talking orange? What's that knowledge worth? Are you going to pull your money out of all the AMZN stocks you bought? Send a strongly worded letter to Kamala for not being more radical? Fly across the sea to assassinate an upcoming dictator?
Why is this where your mind goes? Genuinely.
Tell me what you're going to do with the daily updates on the election or some other dumb shit happening in the USA. I'm genuinely curious.
I'm going to understand that this is a pretty consequential election and Americans are going to want to talk about it?
And you wouldn't have that without the daily updates? From one day to the next you forget there's an election and need a constant reminder? How old are you? Do you need to get checked for dementia?
Talking about it would be enough.
It would find it's way to a citizen that could make a difference.
There is a reason most modern dictatorships restrict access to the the Internet.
No yeah even most people that live here can't do shit about it. It's basically celebrity shit, to most people, it's just that they're obviously going to removed about it because it maybe tenuously has an effect on their lives. We may be cooked
Not sure what you wanted to say but your instance filtered it.
