Why doesn't it ever stop
It's not just in the politics subs now, it's everywhere
Please, won't someone make it stop
You can try to ignore politics all you want but it'll fuck up your life anyway.
Not everyone lives in the USA you donkey. Your circus is EVERYWHERE and it's driving me insane. It's literally all you can talk about.
I don't live in the US and I'm as fed up with the whole shitshow as you are. But US politics unfortunately influences the entire world and if Trump gets elected everybody will suffer, no matter where they live.
It’s almost like US politics have a slight impact beyond the US.
You know non USA people are not allowed to vote in the USA presidential election, right?
The arrogance is astounding.
I don’t mean to be arrogant. But I assume you realize US politics have implications worldwide. That is why many people in many countries take interest in it. Maybe it would be a good thing if US politics only affected the US, but that doesn’t seem to be the current situation.
Where do you live? I bet the US has a military base either there or within one of your neighbors. Not to mention that the US has caused or perpetuates a lot of wars your country is probably involved in now or in the past, especially if you live anywhere in Europe (who are supporting things like Israel or are in NATO), Australia, Canada, Mexico, anywhere in South America, some African countries, or East Asia. The world reserve currency is also currently the dollar. And they are a major player in all of the major international organizations like the UN security Council (the only part of the UN with teeth), NATO, the IMF, and orgs like that.
US politics influence EVERYTHING.
If you don't live in the territory of the American Republic, don't worry, the American Empire aims to change that.
And it'll fuck up your life if you don't ignore it either. Talking about politics online does not equate to political activism.
Welcome to Mr. Bones' Wild Ride, it never ends!
I want to get off Mr. John Adultman’s repeated explanations of why Biden needs to step down
It's only going to get worse for almost a year.
Just keep your head in the sand bruh. Its where you've been this whole time.
Hey! It's the guy with nothing worth saying. That still manages to say it too loud.
If you follow me, I've called this entire mess, its causes and its resolutions, 9 months out.
And I've pretty much been entirely correct, except that I called that Biden would drop out about 2 weeks earlier than he did.
In fact I have bets going back as far as December/ January that I'll be able to collect on.
You can have a world view that predicts future states of reality, or can have whatever anti-scientific, reality denying mess Blue-MAGA has wrapped themselves up in.
The choice is yours.
As long as you believed it that makes one person. No on else does. No one has to follow you. We've seen you immaturely spamming/trolling, unable to articulate actual solutions. All over the place. You aren't collecting on anyone. But I comend you on your vivid imagination.
Its all here my dude. Documented for all to see. As is the gaslighting, lying, cult-like behavior that you've been engaged in.
I won. History is and will be on my side.
It's cute you think so. If only believing made it so.
Not everyone lives in the US you idiot.
