For transparency, I’m Canadian, but our situation is pretty much the same: Far right candidate projected to win next election, “meh, status quo centrist” in power now, people letting projections deter them from voting, primitive “electoral college” lite making your votes less effective based on where you live, etc etc…
We do trend towards “looking over the fence” politically. If Biden’s step-down gamble pays off, it’s possible we could get a similar thing to happen here which could be good. So, we’re all watching and hoping that we don’t end up neighbouring a country with a fascist leader…
I hope for yours and the world’s sake that it works out on both sides of the border. I fear the US has a lot of negative influence on the rest of the world. Like if there was no president trump, how would elections have gone around the world the past few years? It feels like we set trends sometimes and some of them are amazingly bad
I agree with all of this completely! Maybe someday we can catch up to other countries…
