    To me the thing I didn’t like about Reddit was how it was too focused on US politics. For example, r/worldnews was mostly news from US. It should’ve been just r/news lol, nothing to do with world.

      I am an Italian living in America, so I know what you mean. But Italians can definitely throw no stones about crazy politicians getting elected.

    That’s how FPtP works, especially with the spoiler effect increasing partisanship over time. (though the right might be split in 2024 for the obvious reason)

    Choosing between left wing liberals and right wing liberals is like choosing for someone to either pee in your ear or to shit in your mouth, specially in the US.

    As an American it feels more like “50.1% life stays the same” “49.9% life gets existentially worse for anyone not a white Christian male”
