i suppose stop paying attention and shut up like the mods & users of lemmy.world and reddit keep pushing me to do.

honestly, i think that if hadn't have suffered as much as i did at the hands at biden, obama, both bush's & clinton i would probably agree with them.

my suffering PALES in comparison in ways that i don't want to imagine for those suffering in gaza and sharing my views and voting accordingly is easy now that i no longer live in texas, so i'll keep doing it; it's just nice to see the it's not the same 8 or 9 dozen lemmyverse users who also feel this way.

It was an honest question, I'm not from the US, so I have no horse in the race.

everyone does; whether or not you're american.

I mean I guess I'd rather Trump didn't win, but I can't do anything about it. So no, I have no horse in the race.

so long as american bombs, american soldiers, or american money touch your country; you too will be impacted by this race.

the only way to plausibly ignore it is to be russian, chinese or western european; everyone else is the world is kowtowed to american hegemony, willing or not.

that's only true if you're somehow insulated from american hegemony.

Depends... We're all interconnected on some level. But i don't care anymore.
