US policies affect everyone. So, it’s only logical, that everyone gets to vote on what those policies are.

This is 100% logical. You cannot refute it.

    There was an activist in Japan who did that as a bit in 2008 IIRC, declaring his candidacy for US president and arguing that because the US acts as if it owns the world it must consider the whole world its territory and thus everyone on earth was born in the US and is entitled to vote in its elections, further calling for his supporters to boycott the election and then declaring victory on the reasoning that any person who did not vote was voting for him. It was a funny bit.

      fr though folks in places like Japan and Germany could organize to get the US military out of places like Okinawa and Rammstein. That would be a pretty significant blow to US imperialism, right?

    EVERYONE all over the world deserves the right to be bombarded with news about US elections for about 2 years non-stop.

      If we have to suffer then so should everyone else. It's only logical.

      If you live in a wannabe anglophone country like Denmark, you more or less already do. At least during the Trump years it felt like that.

      It would be so fucking funny if Europe became the Senate to America's Caesar. Invite all the fancy big wigs, political power brokers, and robber baron capitalists to a 'summit," and then just go HAM on arrests and executions for war crimes.

    You really want the British and French to have more power?

    It’s a good core of an idea, but let’s limit it to third world or something.

    Everyone EXCEPT Americans should get to vote in US elections. Nothing changes for Americans no matter who's in power, but the ruling parties have different opinions on which sovereign nations should be invaded/couped.
