      People not from the US are often more educated on the US political system than a lot of Americans.

        It’s got truthiness, I’ll give you that. But there aren’t any facts to back it up.

          I know that it’s not natural for Americans to seek out information but just look at any vox pop asking people from other countries about US politics and you’ll see.

          Most of the rest of the planet is exposed to your culture, and sometimes gets bombed or killed because of US decisions, so we usually know.

            Yeah, it makes a lot of people really educated on the slaver’s college, the Constitutional language that essentially creates two parties, why liberal isn’t an insult, and half a dozen other things that render them perfectly qualified to instruct Americans on proper political campaigning. Because, after all, they’ve seen a California swimsuit model.
