I care so little for US politics and I am already tired of hearing about that train wreck, despite actively avoiding it. I can't escape it I figured it must be close to the election so I googled it.

We got another 3 months of this.

I was absolutely here prior to "the change" and now I'm all here for it. It went from "good guys gonna get smashed" to "Holy shit good guys are gonna win and bad guys gonna get their asses kicked". Love a come from behind story.

I loved the Olympics even more because of this. 2 weeks of barely hearing about it was bliss.

I wish Americans would stop this whole superiority complex thing they have, and acting like everybody needs to know about it

Chief. Your country is falling apart, basically a 3rd world country with rich white people, and you literally had Trump as president. Nobody else gives a fuck about who wins your shitty little race race. Your country is beyond repair either way. Also, US politics aren't the default politics, and the US isn't the default country 🤷‍♂️
