The American election propaganda machine is at full throttle and most of it is incredibly infantile, at least for the level Lemmy tends to be at in average on non-tribalist subjects.

If I wanted clubist cheerleading, my own country has an overabundance of football (soccer for Americans) coverage on the News and they tend to go out interview people wearing full-blown team colors at the entrance of major games and ask them “who do you think will win?” (which is about the stupidest question you can ask anybody who is obviously a fan of a club).

The only two things that all the political coverage in Lemmy is teaching me is that in America not all brainless simpletons are siding with Trump (as so much shit from the other side also is Highschool Playground level bullshit) and just how downright mindlessly moronically tribalist power duopoly fake democracies are - no doubt compensating for how little true choice they have - which definitely incentivises me to fight for genuine Democracy were I live and avoiding that the local backwards, unworldly and provincialist politicians get any more ideas from the US.
