I'm Canadian not European, but I think its nearly impossible to overstate how much the US's allies don't want Trump reelected.
And especially the French, who just barely did not elect a fascist very recently, must be really behind Harris ~~being~~ beating Trump.
*beating Trump (I assume?)
Welp, exactly. Fixed it.
Given how prominent an ally the U.S. is, the rise of the alt-right and increasingly fascistic tendencies lends a legitimacy to that viewpoint I'd rather not see. I naturally don't put sole blame on the U.S. for the western sphere leaning more and more fascist, but it's certainly set a precedent making it easier for others to follow.
As another Canadian, we know that Trump isn't going to Make America Great Again, he's going to Fuck America Over Again.
Democrats hope they're now seeing some of that untapped potential activated. DA said registrations to vote outside the US via the Federal Post Card Application have quintupled in the first three days of this week, rising to more than 3,000, compared with the same period last week. This process registers voters of either party, but DA said the number of its new members also tripled from Monday to Wednesday.
If you’re an American living abroad, your vote still counts! Make sure to apply for a FPCA.
