Yeah, it's not like the election of a new leader in the US impacts the rest of the world in a large way or anything...

You say this, and yet the fact remains that a guy like Donald Trump is actually now one of the final two people vying to become the PRESIDENT of your country.
So yeah, do the right thing, ok folks?
Yes but they won't be accurate anyway so why torture yourself.
I agree - but it backfired. If annoyed a lot of voters
Oh I have no problem with people being interested and discussing it. Free country, after all. It's just that the whole "please america do the right thing! vote the way /I/ want you too!", even as someone who voted for Clinton, is just endlessly irritating.

I'm lurking the alt right scum ponds, should be a day to remember
Lol at this ignorant dogshit. We have spent generations building relationships with countries around the world to make things more prosperous and safer (insert huge asterisk here). Do you really think people are incapable of caring about the state of another country's politics? It's just concern trolling?
People are completely right to be concerned and embarrassed that a joke of a person like Trump has gotten as far as he has in our elections
Go go go

Then next time don't nominate someone as dangerous as Trump and give him a shot at the Presidency so the rest of the world don't have to worry about you all screwing up the rest of us.

going out to vote
k
It certainly comes off that way.
It's not anyone's place but the American people to come to their own conclusions as to elect the President of the United States. We don't need your help and your concern to make a decision. We've had over a year to hash it out ourselves, and a 200+ year old system to get us there.
I really don't care what the rest of the world thinks about it.

What a fucking shit-show, doesn't matter who wins, they're both puppets anyway, keep voting for more Wallstreet/Blackrock/Hedgefonds/AIPAC etc.

I just hope that tomorrow, I wake up to Clinton being confirmed president. I probably won't be awake when the results are finally out...
I really don't like what Trump means for us outside of the US...

You are delusional if you think the leader of one of the largest countries in the world doesn't affect other countries.
thanks, vote a little harder than the rest of us

I mean it's not like the US hasn't been telling other countries who to elect these last 100 years.....
Hang in there.
I will vote with the vigor of six men, I assure you.
And then move the fuck out of Ohio.

"Leave us alone"? Yeah, the US sure is good at leaving other countries alone... Can you guarantee that the outcome of the election won't affect us over here in Europe (or other parts of the world) in any way? No?
America is the most powerful country in the world. You're not just "making your own bed", you're making ours too. What happens today will affect the entire world. We don't have the right to vote in your election, but we do have every right to care about the outcome.

If Trump wins, every right wing extremist around the world will be starting their campaign tomorrow to reproduce his tactics. As it stands they'll probably do it anyway, but if he loses people can at least point to that and say "don't be stupid".
There is a lot at stake here. The world is watching and is scared as fuck.
I really don't see what that has to do with anything, other that whattabboutism.

A vote for trump is a vote against the environment.
You get to vote and foreigners don't. Comes across as harmless to me, but the election cycle is such a lengthy process and the rest of the world gets so much coverage it's difficult for us not to care what you guys do. As far as the Obama/Brexit anecdote the industrialized world is so interconnected with trade etc. that the trip makes sense to me. I certainly don't mean to annoy you guys.
Re: JQA it's a shame about Jackson.
To be fair, places like the UK (and many others) contain US military bases - so the person in ultimate control of those is kind of a big deal to us, and I don't think there's anything wrong with us being interested/terrified and expressing that. It would be 'concern trolling' if the US leader had no impact anywhere but America, but that is far from the case.
Also, Obama didn't change many minds here. Drop in the ocean of bigotry, xenophobia and nationalism that won Brexit. He may have entrenched some Brexiters but that's about it. I know a lot people who appreciated a view from another nation, but then, we're Remainers, so we're all about working together rather than 'taking our country back'.

Polls now open!
Yep, and of course Trump has been quoting 'Brexit' for months now - the UK's own right-wing extremist campaign which, sadly, won.
Scared as fuck just about covers it.
I spoke to 3 people who all voted yes on Amendment 1 in Florida thinking they're supporting Solar power. Amendment 1 would actually kill solar power. "Consumers for Smar Solar" is actually the utility companies. This amendment would kill solar energy.
This is dystopian future evil politician government shit right here.
I'm calling it right now. From the state that brought you the buttery ballot comes the 2016 headline, "Floridians duped into killing solar"

Policy in the United States has a large influence on domestic policy abroad.
Most powerful country in the world, naturally people will pay attention. You can't have the cake and eat it too.

I need a live vote count
First off, that's rich as fuck coming from an American, a country that has probably meddled in more elections than anyone. Or sometimes not even bothered.
And excuse the rest of the world for not wanting someone certifiable to have access to one of the largest nuke arsenals in the world. You guys let a Youtube comment get this close to the presidency, so I think your 200+ year old system has some kinks to work out.
