What Do Americans Think Of Non Americans Having Opinions On Their Elections?

Question

blueonblack22 · Accepted Answer

Funny I posted about this extremely aggravating concept here Should foreigner’s opinions be considered relevant compared to American citizens living in the USA in regards to presidential elections?

This is really more of the fault of far left Hollywood and far left American mass media that gets broadcast worldwide. They give the rest of the world a very twisted view of what our nation is really like. They without a doubt give twisted views of politicians (they anglicize democrats and demonize republicans).

And I didn’t get into big tech yet. But Google doing this Orwellian bullshit and it’s horrifying https://nypost.com/2024/03/18/tech/google-interfered-in-us-elections-41-times-since-2008-report/

The countries most keenly interested in our system of government are mostly the Socialist regimes of Europe, Canada and Australia. Because their citizens are utterly miserable over there, the very last thing they want to see is a conservative administration over here -- that's why they hate DJT so much, because if he gets back in, they know their population will jump up and down, saying, 'Why can't we have that over here?' It's not a complicated situation, unless we choose to make it one.

Kinda annoying lol.

Like hey guys! 👋 what’s on Netflix? HAS ANYONE FINISHED ONE PIECE YET

HAVE YOU DECIDED A CAREER YET

WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOIR A LEADER FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY 😭 I don’t understand it.

I don’t even pay that much attention to the Royal Family… like what do they do for anyone outside their country?

I suppose if people want to be globally aware then that’s fine. Before though i just seen the interactions on social media from young people, so I was annoyed and sometimes triggered, but if they want to simply converse on this and do it in their own way that’s fine. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

I don't vote so I don't care.

I felt entirely indifferent until Trump came around. Our news outlets heavily lean left and it was clear that despite roughly half of our country (or at least half of voters) voting for him, they more or less heard only one side of the argument.

That has changed to some extent over the past 6 or so years, as Trump supporters have grown more vocal. But when foreigners would say what they hear about Trump has been like 99% negative, it's clear they're not getting the full picture, just one sides perspective and assertions.

Still-alive · Answer

For this specific election i welcome any opinion that supports us not succumbing to the fascists in our country. There is an anti-right wing progressive leaning atmosphere falling over the world with the newer generations taking over for the older ones. look to France and the UK for examples. its quite fascinating to see. We should all be united in our efforts to maintain free democratic governments in our world.

If they want us to fail however then they could stfu lol.

So thats about the extent of what i value of people from other countries opinions on our elections.

RingOfFire · Answer

Why not? ... the essence of Americanism is free speech.

We don't have to agree, but we support your right to voice your opinion.

There are an awful lot of people in the world willing to risk their lives and treasures to enjoy American style freedom. There are more people trying to get into America to live (both legally and illegally) than are trying to get into all the other countries in the world combined.

That tells you all you need to know about the value of freedom. So why would the people and the country that invented freedom seek to suppress it?

NaultD · Answer

USA makes a point of having their dick on every plate across the globe. The USD $ is the default currency globally. Our stock market is the default economy of the globe. He'll even strongest military with the bank to back it up.

So yes the globe has a right to commen sence. hence why they keep track and have opinions on usa affairs.

MisterWack · Answer

I would love to hear non Americans give their insight on our elections. I’ve heard from people of India, Australia, Britain, Argentina, etc. on elections and they’ve given helpful insight, though never changed my thoughts & opinions just broadened the scope / seeing things from a different angle.

StudyingAuthor · Answer

I think it's wrong. If they don't live here and understand what's going on here they should not try to give advice to a situation they're not in. I'm not going to try to stop them, but it's not cool.

normalice · Answer

About a 50/50 shot it is paid election interference.

avery58 · Answer

I don't care. But then it's sometimes the same people from nationalistic countries who don't want any foreigners commenting on their issues.

Anonymous · Answer

We think our country is presently a laughingstock. Washington D. C. is run by the dumbest, most narcissistic, well connected idiots America has to offer. We are a full blown 🤡 clown show.

Do we care if Non Americans have opinions about our selections... I mean "elections"? No, go ahead and have a good laugh.

AviatorTom · Answer

We live in a global society. What people think of politics in another country is not only important, it's needed. The days where some countries go into isolation are over. Okay, there are few countries (dictatorships) that still isolate, but that will eventually end.

Razp_Sorbet · Answer

Fact of the matter is American politics affect the rest of the world whether we like it or not. So I think we have a right to have an opinion on whom is leading the country.

Anonymous · Answer

I am not American
I have met so many American who don’t vote and don’t care and don’t even like America
”The US is a sinking ship” is what they say

When The US dropped the gold standard and made the entire global economy tied to the US dollar , how the us is run became everybody business
And it is a disgrace that the fate of the entire of world depends on the state on one country , and voters of this country are mostly entitled, extremists (left-right) who would pick their president depending on sexual desires and abortion and woke culture

I grew up fascinated by America in the 90s
Now it is just sad to see how weak and disrespected the US has become because of prioritising sex over anything else

Any American who doesn’t like other countries concern about the US is low IQ individual whom I wouldn’t worry about

DanicaPhoenix · Answer

Everyone has a right to have an opinion, I have an opinion on how things in other countries are going so it is only fair they have them about ours also. But they should accept, as I do with my opinions of other countries, that their opinions aren't going to change anything here.

Anonymous · Answer

Amusing. It's funny to me how many people will criticize the United States, then have an opinion on our elections. Because It's typically the people that come from the biggest 💩hole countries that typically have an opinion on what we can do better.

Oh the irony.🤣

And this post isn't to insult. It's to make a point. Make your country into a better country then you can come and talk to us.

purplepoppy · Answer

As a non American I see myself as the voice of reason, the grown up in the room. I think Americans appreciate my unbiased opinions that cut through the mist of misinformation and give them a clear path to follow.

Filthy_Immigrant · Answer

ironically I made a post on this recently. till then nothing, I think they should mind their own fucking business.

we Americans never have opinions on other people's elections. therefore I dont understand why is so difficult for other nations to reciprocate that same respect to us

Kaneki05 · Answer

They don't have to care but if they agree with their own ideal of freedom of speech then they should see it as fair to talk about.

abc3643 · Answer

Fine by me. And it should be fine by all Americans if they actually believed in the Freedom of Speech Clause of the First Amendment.

Anonymous · Answer

I'm not American so maybe this irrelevant
But I do find the US election entertaining
I think maybe Trump has good foreign policy, will maybe stop the wars... Ukraine and Gaza

The Kamala/Walz I think they are civil servants who like to say the right thing to be "politically correct"

But Trump is creepy and I wouldn't want him leading my country

ticktds · Answer

"Stfu, ur a Sicilian femboy, who defaq asked?"
To some extent, but I do sort of get how important the USA is in global politics and the fact that they even know somewhat what's going on in the first place. I couldn't name a single politician in the majority of countries.

Agape93 · Answer

I don't generally care unless they get snobbish about it while having no idea how shit really works. Looking at you cubus

BCRanger10 · Answer

They can have their opinions. If what I've seen here is any indication though, I'd guess that many of them get their information from their countries' versions of CNN, NBC, Huffington Post, and other such satire outlets.

BirisiOlurKendisi · Answer

I think the elections should be limited to the people living in that country. Many people who live abroad and vote can affect the fate of the country even though they will not return to their homeland.

lorenzomichael · Answer

As Americans, the first thing we do, is not giving a fuck what other people think. Because we live in the land of the free and the home of the brave. And Unless you can say that, go fuck yourself.

WhitneySnow · Answer

It’s fine. They’re entitled to their opinions.

MysticDevice · Answer

Its none of their concern. We're not interested in anyone else's politics and we don't want anyone else involved in ours.

dustybiker2 · Answer

I'm both, so I enjoy the intelligent feedback from outside the bubble. It's good for the ignorance inside.

Goahead76 · Answer

I think it's great. The western media functions in such a bubble that often it takes someone from outside to point out the absurdities.

LifeHitMeandRan · Answer

Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. I do not give the opinions of outsiders much thought.

ProbablyClueless · Answer

I don't really have an opinion. The reality is that American elections impact a lot of people around the world. And the American electorate constantly proves how stupid it is.

call_me_scar · Answer

Well the u. s politics do effect people outside of the u. s so it makes sense to care

shortster · Answer

Having an opinion and sharing it is one thing. Trying to influence or lecture us on it is quite another.

Anonymous · Answer

Everyone can have an opinion on anything, even if those opinions have zero merit.

DrPepper12 · Answer

I TREASURE them because they are unbiased and rational. International people, pls follow me cuz I ask a lot of political questions and would love to hear from all of you!!

Ladsin2 · Answer

It’s fine. I have an opinion on the elections of our allies and enemies because I do have an interest in it. If, for example, a radical Muslim was able to garner the nuclear codes in Britain that would be concerning.

jahaims · Answer

Idc. A lot of other countries care about what is going on in America because it can often change the world. Most Americans don't care even a little about other countries politics.

you_asked · Answer

Nobody’s opinion makes me change my mind but yes. Keep your opinion in your country.

Friendlybro79 · Answer

I think anyone is allowed an opinion. Our politics affect more than just us.
