I'm supposed to donate to political parties of a country I don't live in and am not a citizen of? What?

    Perhaps you can adopt that same attitude when telling citizens of another country what to do?

    But talk is cheap.

    As an American we fucked up and we shouldn't require other countries to step up for us. We should do it ourselves. Sure it's great to get support and all but we done fucked the pooch. It's on us.

    I never stated they should step up for us. Only if they are that excited about this subject they should take action rather than demanding and demeaning Americans to do so.

    An American posting similar comments to foreigners on their internal politics would be equally less well received.

    What "same attitude"?

    Mate. The mess in the US is affecting everyone. EVERYONE on Earth. So we reserve the right to tell you to fucking get your shit straightened out already because unfortunately we cannot call the police on you when you burn tires in your front yard and blast your music and fire your guns at bottles and bother your neighbours for sugar at 2 in the morning and demand that people pay a toll when they cross the bridge 5 streets over.

    I keep asking what we're supposed to do from the outside. I cannot walk over to the US's house and into the US's living room and turn off the music and tell them to go the fuck to sleep it is 2 am on a work day and they're keeping the entire street awake. I'd probably be shot.

    You literally can. It's called a plane ticket. Come over here and get shot immediately like you keep advocating I do. No? Didn't think so.
