I suspect a significant percentage of very vocal individuals in Lemmy politics threads can't even vote in US elections because they don't live here.

oh man here we go! anyone with politics you don't like must be a foreign (russian!!) bot!

i'm from north carolina you fuckass

I more mean to imply there a ton of Europeans and Canadians on Lemmy. They seem to have a lot of strong opinions on US politics. I don't think you (or almost anyone else) are a Russian bot.

I technically live here because I'm in a secret Russian Posting Facility deep underneath a Midwestern mall, like in stranger things

I'm sure getting that feeling. They REALLY don't want you voting for Biden, but can't suggest an alternative voting option.

Weird. (Which also bugs them, for some reason.)

You know what, you're right. I'm gonna vote for Biden too. It's HIS turn

Don't worry about all these people bud. I'm doing my part and voting for Biden this November.

Dude they don't have an alternative because US elections ARE NOT DEMOCRACY. Bernie sanders was the most popular politician in the US, was not elected president, M4A has majority approval across the country, has not happened, abortion is widely popular, it was overturned while the Democrats controlled house, Senate and White House. Stop acting like the fucking politics understanders when you fall the same Charlie brown routine every four fucking years.

Brain fart. Yeah it's been a long year. To be fair it's only been a couple weeks since you guys have had to paste Kamala's face over Joe's in your old memes.

What memes are you talking about? I don't waste time on election memes, I'm just here to repeat the

"You're playing a video game without the controller plugged in" metaphor.
