    Well...she has a point as no other election has so many people around the world and especially European's who follow it so closely.

    I guess the reason is obvious for this given that it is about electing a U.S. President as the U.S. is a global entity.

    Seems they would be more interested in their own affairs than ours.
    If critiquing US politics and domestic affairs is more important than improving your own...
    Haha...no wonder.

    You know what 740 million Europeans are interested in and what's important to them?
    Congratulations. That's some amazing long distance online diagnose skills.

    Well ... on the other side too, because this is no "one way ticket" when looking how many US people here now everything (better) about European issues as for example the refugees issue.

    There are pages on the US economy, pages on the US election, pages on US race relations, pages on the US job market, pages on US legislation, pages on US healthcare, pages on US education, pages on US welfare, pages on US tax structure.
    You'd think Europeans would want a few threads to discuss European topics like these. But, they don't exist.

    No, I don't. Don't care in the least. I especially don't care what posters who don't identify a country have to say.

    Isn’t it a (primarily) US political forum and so any real wondering about majority of postings and topics?
    Anyway, I’m a little bit confused about your words, because isn’t it often the opinion of US people the world is turning around the USA as center of all? So why are you wondering that “Non-Americans” are interested in US issues, please?
    Aside this … it is simply fact that issues of the USA have often heavy influence of the rest on this globe (with no rating from my side about if good or not that this is given – only pure fact).

    I can only speak for my own and not for the rest … and I know for sure not all and everything about this topic, but I know much about. The topic is simply one in which I’m interested …

    No, I don't think this is primarily a US forum at all. Social media in the US had forums like this one 20 years ago.
    I think our entire communication and information exchange and access is a LOT different than most posters here can imagine.
    What do our race relations, healthcare system, and educational institutions have to do with Europeans?
    Where are the threads on German issues?
    Why are you interested in Mexican illegals?

    Telephone poles?
    Haha...
    Few Americans have what one would call a landline today. We use primarily cell service. If we do have a landline, it is via our cable/net provider and the lines are run underground.

    Your nationalist and ignorant posts are tragicomic.
    You always seem to think the US and Americans are "special" and for some reason you run around accusing people of not being American.
    You also seem to have a problem with posters who don't identify their country...

    There are maybe two handfuls of regular European posters and you call that a European obsession. I mean... This thread is a joke as are 90% of your posts.

    I absolutely believe Americans are and America is special. I also think cowards pontificate behind a curtain of ambiguity.
    Imitation is the greatest form of flattery and such.

    Of course you believe that... That much is obvious from your overt nationalism and denigration of all suspected non-Americans.
    As all nationalists though you betray you deep ignorance of everything.

    Special snowflakes or maybe special needs.

    Can't quite hack it out there they need a Trump wall to keep them safe, in their safe space, away from the triggers.

    That's very true. The number of self proclaimed experts on this forum coming from yankeeland who claim to know just about everything regarding European politics is just astounding. And the funny thing is, even if you live in Europe like I do and even if you are aware of what is going on here, they still think their expertise and knowledge is miles ahead of yours. They must have acces to classified sources.
    :wink:


    If nationalities are so important, then don't quote me, so I won't respond with something you don't care about. Quite easy.
