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.

Those countries where Harris is strongly preferred are not our rivals. They are our allies. And they strongly prefer Harris over Trump because he has said and done a number of things that lead them to believe that he would would compromise their national security. It has very little, if anything, to do with conservatism or liberalism. They don’t care so much about our domestic issues. They care about us being dependable allies. And you can see that those countries at the top are very close to Russia, geographically speaking. They have heard/read Trump’s comments and see what Putin has done. There’s a reason those countries are at the top of the list of those that prefer Harris.

My parents just got back from Ireland. There was concern over there regarding our (then) upcoming presidential election. One of the people they met there sort of joked with my parents that the Irish have finally made peace with being forced to learn English, so didn’t want to now have to learn Russian.

You’re in the top 5% of well informed Americans. I spoke with a family member yesterday who I consider smart, college grad and he had no idea what dobbs was or that Roe was overturned. I was taken aback.

My anecdotal evidence is my European friends/coworkers all knew about this issue and which candidate stands for which.

A lot of HY2012's assumptions about politics and life are basically predicated on the notion that he is representative of the average/median voter and citizen.

I will never get over the fact that Republicans decided that they want the guy who Russia, Iran, North Korea, and Saudi Arabia want. What an unbelievable and humiliating collapse of conservatism.

Don’t leave out China, Hungary, United Arab Emirates, warmonger Bibi Netanyahu, Argentina, India’s xenophobic and Islamophobic leader, and Turkey’s Erdogan.

I don't think you're ill-informed. I think you know exactly who Donald Trump really is. You just don't think he'll do all the things he's been promising to do. And that seems to me to be a form of ignorance that's much worse than lack of information.

I expect HY2012 wants Trump to do what he says he’ll do.

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.

Wow.

We now know that HY does not know any Europeans or really anyone from other "major countries." By and large, they do not have US jealousy.

Agreed.

Trump has voiced that he wants Scandinavians to emigrate to the USA.

The problem with that? Few Scandinavians want to emigrate to the US.
