Random thought on American Politics

Don't be mean but I'm just saying this that i noticed

I hear it all the time when people in other countries say "America isn't the center of the world" to insult Americans talking about their politics and laws or whatever going on.

But at the same time i ALWAYS see people from other countries talking about who they want to win the election, what America should do with their laws, insulting Americans for their political beliefs, and posting/ talking about what they think about current American politics and policies going on.

Not really saying anything else other than pointing that out because i find it weird. It's not the center of the world, but sure seems like it when all my UK, European, Australian friends talk about US politics more than i do

I tend not to comment on US internal politics. However there are always expectations to the rule....

*like when they enact laws made by men that disenfranchise women.
*I don't even know the relevance of your amendments you talk about except I regularly plead the fifth.
*I respect the office of the POTUS although not necessarily the incumbent.
*I am sure I made fun of Trump.
*The centre of the world however is Aotearoa not the US.

@KiwiBird I'm not saying you shouldnt believe or say those things.

I think everyone should speak up about the ridiculous laws going on right now that are hurtful to women regardless if it effects them or not

But i find it ironic that when they want to, they talk about politics and post about it 100x more than i do (the only time i say anything about politics is here)

But then when they dont want to they use it as an insult that no one cares about america other than americans and americans are selfish for thinking the world does

"they talk about politics and post about it 100x more than I do"

Is it possible that the reason why you don't talk about politics very much is because the topic simply doesn't interest you all that much?
