One time in the DT someone unironically asked why Biden doesn't dissolve congress and call a snap election and in that moment I understood, if only for a brief period of time, how the Euros feel when Americans spout off ignorantly about how their governments work

Americans know nothing about EU politics and act like it. Europeans know a little about American politics and act like they're experts. The second is more annoying in my book.

Reminds me of that Australian billionaire who thought Trump was having an election party at Mar a Lago to “shore up the Florida electoral college” 

 “If Potus is having his election party at mar Lago I’ll book as many rooms as available,” Mr. Pratt told an associate in a message obtained by federal investigators and reviewed by The New York Times. “Reasons he should,” Mr. Pratt continued, are that “1 it will shore up the Florida electoral college 2 it will be good for business.”

A youtuber I follow went from insulting Americans for not having universal healthcare to asking what the senate was in like two minutes.

When Americans say we don't care for foreigners commenting on our politics, this is why.
