I don’t understand the folks who do this! I would never presume to have an opinion about the domestic politics of Canada or Australia, except perhaps sympathy at the shared yoke of bad governance. And I doubt they would welcome my opinion if I have it.

heh as a non-american in the anglosphere it's extremely difficult to tune out the play-by-play but i sure as heck have no business making normative claims about who should do what; there are an order of magnitude more of you after all and you actually have some first-order skin in the game

As a dual citizen I would say non-Americans think they know more than they do about US politics and can also be insensitive with bad takes AND Americans are too sensitive and dismissive of how their own imperialism operates in other countries and how their decisions affect everyone globally.

There is some difference in Canadian vs. Australian. Prior to TV fragmenting into a million pieces, cable here meant American TV, and over-interested dummies like, cough, nobody I know, watched American news non-stop. We have not escaped contemporary brain fever.
