why tied...? i know that Harris and the Democratic Party are not an ideal choice, but looking at your situation from Europe, i can not understand the popularity of Trump.
As an American, i can't understand it either. The only thing i can posit is that there are a lot of people that seem to enjoy being in their social media bubbles. It's a cult thing.
a mix of russian disinfo, right wing bigotry, desperate for power and control
Some people see his politics as a personal benefit, some filled with hate, some want a king. Basically, there are just a lot of shitbags in society.
Looking at the European situation from outside is also baffling, with putinite parties on the rise by whipping up fears over migration. Similarities with the USA situation easy to find
yeah, sadly we only have a handful of somewhat "useful" politicians too
Absolutely. And you can tell they try the US talking points, too. A while back a Swiss politician tweeted something about abortion and got zero traction, but it was very clear where that came from when it's never been a topic here. Sounds like a conspiracy, but if you put it in context with the recent FBI revelations it's not exactly far-fetched.
It's literally this from anywhere but America
Really? A European doesn't understand this? You guys invented charismatic populist psychopaths.
Somebody's never heard of Xerxes. Europe, like all things invented in Europe, simply stole the idea from Asia and labeled it as European.
you should learn from our mistakes then
