of the 47 threads on the front page of pard, excluding this idiotic one, 19 or them by my quick count are either international threads or non-US-specific official threads like YouTube and pictures.

any we're clogged with redundant Trump threads constantly, condense those and it gets even worse.

Non-specific... Full of US-politics related material?

I mean, there's a couple of religious threads. What, 3 or 4 generic threads like EU news that isn't even specific to a nation, and still brings up Trump every other post.

You've failed to make a point. Or even troll. That you don't like this thread? Is belied by the fact that you responded. Try harder. :)

This is a sincere question, brought to mind due to the overwhelming presence of non-US people in US political threads.

Does anywhere else exist? If so, where are the topics? What's going on? I mean, I've got a fairly decent grasp of global politics, but it's odd that I don't see much here. 19 of every 20 topics is specifically about US politics and events.

To make it worse, 4 of 5 people who respond the most don't live in the US, and most have never even travelled to the US, yet continually attempt to shout down those US citizens who seek to voice their opinion.

I mean, going back to the 2016 election, wouldn't some random French guy utilizing a social media site (forums) trying to tell American citizens how to vote be election interference?

So, a challenge to the armchair warriors around the world: Bring your own politics into focus, get a bead on what everyone thinks of YOUR backyard for a little while. Because for now, as far as I'm concerned? The US is the only place in the world that matters. And I've come to this conclusion because it's the only one that the global community on JSP seems to care about.

Ready... GO!

you're right, we've got a serious lack of talk about Uganda.

crazy that a forum that's 75% american users, on an american website, when america is the most powerful nation in the world, during an american presidential election year would be talking about the american presidential election.

just shocking stuff. your intellect astounds me, how have we never noticed this before you came along.

Odd, but if you look at nationalities represented as a percentage of posts, your 75% American number is 100% bullshit. Also odd, but nothing has changed, since Obama was elected even. It's been the "America show" all throughout. The difference is, now there's 10x the number of "America Show" topics.

Doesn't the EU have anything interesting? Russia? Nobody wants to talk about how Putin has actually been... Um... Westernizing Russia? How about Indonesia banning a bible app for causing discomfort to muslims?

All kinds of neat things happening. The US is 330 million people. The world is what, 7.2 billion? There are how many hundreds of militaries, how many hundreds of varying forms of governments.

Yet nobody really cares to refer to any of that. And your very trolling seeks to justify why the US is the only place that really exists. Shocking, frankly. I'd have thought better of you.

No no. Remove Trump's tweets, and he provides about a story a day. Add in all relevant Putin acts and speeches, he provides a story a day.

Both are interesting in their own way. Part of the problem with Putin is the anti-Russia sentiment that doesn't allow anything positive he does to be reported. Part of it is apparently nobody in the press can speak Russian. And part of it, sadly enough, is he doesn't enact policy via twitter.

And you miss the point entirely. This forum is absolute cancer if you ever want to have a positive view of the US. Worse than cancer. What I see 99% of the time I read anything is US bad, US evil. Was that way while Obama was President, is that way now, doesn't change. No matter what the US does, we're the center of everything wrong in the universe according to the communist anti-American non-Americans, who seek to demand that all Americans vote in Anti-American ways.

But really, a bunch of idiots screeching at you incessantly is even less effective than your trolling at swaying a vote. Instead, why not show us poor, stupid Americans what a wonderful paradise your nation has concocted? Give us some politics from your end of the pond, let us judge for ourselves? Because it seems to me that at the same time complete morons are attempting to insult catholics, for instance, Sweden just passed a law requiring employers to pay Muslims for prayer time. Wait... What? Pay you for non-work activities?

See, there's plenty going on. Are you so disinterested in what'll be headed this way you'd rather close your ears to it, or...?

BLAH BLAH BLAH

when/if Putin does something important he'll get his own thread, china has one, EU has one, Beirut had one, Brexit has one, etc.

u keep acting like it's literally nothing but Trump, and/or the fact that its mostly about Trump/USA should bother americans, during an election year.

you sound big dumb guy

Removing the flame from your response, this is nonsense. 90% of threads are completely unimportant, irrelevant garbage about US politics that is pure sensationalism. It's an attempt to take a wide range of various events specifically in the US to build a political narrative. This is something that doesn't exist in any meaningful way for any other specific nation.

All I see in your nonsensical replies is that you don't feel that any other nation on the planet matters, or does anything that matters. And you're using that to justify why non-Americans who literally DO NOT MATTER to the American Political process should be spamming American Political threads.

Weak argument. And enough with the flames. Seriously. Speak like an adult or get out of my topic. :)
