To the three of you who downvoted me without a word of explanation: we can see who downvotes who on kbin.

So I ask you, why did you downvote me and why do you think that this guy talking to his fellow politicians is news worthy? We are not on an american website anymore, the rest of the world doesn’t care about the american constant struggle and crying about politicians saying stuff.

If you want to do the same thing you did on reddit then why did you leave reddit?

You’ve been here a whole 19 days, at least on this account. People likely assume you came from reddit as well.

You asked why you were downvoted. It’s because of your arrogant attitude and trolling. But, I’ll sometimes have some pity and feed the troll.

You asked why anyone outside the US should care what happens in the US. The answer is very simple. If the US experiences a collapse of some kind (which it might), it will have a profoundly negative effect on the value of currencies worldwide, including the EUR and GBP. So, no matter how much you hate it, the value of your currency is affected by the value of ours.

That’s just one reason why you should care about the rise of conservatism and how it harms the U.S.

I’m downvoting you because you’re being incredibly immature right now. People can disagree with you
Saying “how dare you downvote me, I can SEE IT!” and calling them out makes you look like a giant child. You need to take some time to consider your own response and whether or not that’s something WE want on the fediverse. You can just as easily be blocked too, you know.

Downvoting and running away was a reddit thing, now you are accountable for your downvotes.

I have the maturity to ask for answer when people react to what I say. My question about sorting posts out of @news and moving them to @USpolitics is perfectly legitimate. I’m glad that some people took the time to answer so we can have a discussion, but so far among the handful of people who had the courage to put up a written argument I’ve read nothing convincing me that this post has its place in @news rather than in politics.

If all you want is a copy of reddit then please go back to reddit.You will have a barrage of US political news all day long.

Block me, be my guest, at least you won’t be able to downvote me on sight anymore.

Many of us won’t block you. We will just see you and feel sad for you.

Doing things like calling out someone’s post history or making a whiney edit about the people downvoting you are also reddit things. And that’s the kind of behaviour you’re exhibiting right here. You’re being close minded and demanding that other people cater to your needs. Just like Americans shouldn’t only concern themselves with their news, you too shouldn’t only close yourself off and only care about your news. And if you don’t like it, unsubscribe yourself.

Go touch some grass dude.

Reddit has a solution to this. In addition to r/news there is r/worldnews, which prohibits US internal news/US politics. Something similar would be a good solution here too. Also, frankly, you have failed to explain how the article you’re complaining about is politics rather than news. In the U.S. justices and judges are not politicians. Maybe they are where you live?

The destruction of queer rights in the US will harm me regardless of me ever setting foot in the country.

I don’t think they’re being ridiculous to say that US politics has an impact outside of the US. To quote a former Canadian Prime Minister:

“Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is affected by every twitch and grunt.”

why do you think that this guy talking to his fellow politicians is news worthy?

I’m one one of the downvoters, so I’ll try giving you an answer. As an American, it’s newsworthy to me when the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is publicly calling out the other justices for behavior he deems unbecoming a justice. I had not realized that @news was specifically for European news? And I think perhaps YOU had not realized that in America, the supreme court is theoretically above politics. A justice is not a politician. Again, in theory. Lately our supreme court has been behaving very much like bought-and-paid-for politicians, and that should be concerning to all Americans.

There is a whole world out there. Right now @new is around 50% US. How is it a good thing? Look at this from a non US perspective. You open your news feed and nearly half of it is about US politicians doing the political dance.

If you have political news to post, please post them at least in a political magazine, not in news.

Lately our supreme court has been behaving very much like bought-and-paid-for politicians, and that should be concerning to all Americans.

This is not news, everyone around the planet know that your politicians are sold to the richest people. Again, keep it into political magazines, or we will be flooded.

Do you really want US politics to flood each sub like what happened on reddit?
