That’s a pretty good ordering of countries by functionality of government and happiness of the citizenry as well. Thoughts on that, HeelYeah?

My main thoughts are that the data means nothing. And that I wouldn't really want to live in hardly any of the countries polled.

How do you think it would poll if we asked the other teams in the ACC who they'd rather have as UNC basketball's head coach: Roy Williams or Matt Doherty?

Wait, so you knowingly voted for Matt Doherty over Roy Williams???

Unfortunately, you’ve chosen Matt Doherty; you and too damn close to 50% of Americans.

I think you missed the point. Our ACC rivals would prefer for us to have Doherty just like many European countries would prefer the US to have Harris.

When your competition (some of whom don't like you. are jealous of your previous success, or are at best indifferent to your success) gets to choose who they'd like to be in charge of your enterprise, they won't always choose the person that is actually in your best interest to have in that seat.

Well, Americans don't care for much of anything
Land and water the least
And animal life is low on the totem pole
With human life not worth more than infected yeast
Americans don't care too much for beauty
They'll shit in a river, dump battery acid in a stream
They'll watch dead rats wash up on the beach
Complain if they can't swim
They say things are done for the majority
Don't believe the half of what you see and none of what you hear
It's like what my painter friend Donald said to me
"Stick a fork in their ass and turn 'em over, they're done"

What? Denmark isn't saying they'd vote for Harris because they are jealous of the US or want us to fail.

Ooooooooh, I see. You think Danes are choosing Kamala because . . . uh . . . they think Trump would actually do a better job as president but . . . um . . . the Danes don't really want America to succeed because . . . errr . . . we're their geopolitical competitors???

You want to rethink that one maybe?

Denmark is a very liberal country in general. They are the extreme outlier here just as Russia is on the other end of the spectrum.

But there is absolutely US jealousy that is deeply-rooted in basically all major countries throughout the world that plays a role here.

In other words, I'll let the suburban soccer moms who typically swing our elections decide what is best for America's future ahead of some random dude in Sweden who doesn't even truly understand the differences between the two candidates.
 
I'd guess MOST Europeans know the difference in the two candidates waaaaay more than your average American. American's are extremely poorly informed.

I have co-workers in Norway, Netherlands, Australia, Italy, and the UK and they all more informed on US political issues than the American workers.

To be fair, HY's pretzel logic is accurate for the bottom handful of countries in the graphic.

Yes, but that's a biased sample. By definition those are people who have co-workers across the ocean. Are any of your co-workers proprietors of small B & Bs in the Loire Valley?

Maybe we have a little to learn from those "very liberal" countries?
