I find it especially aggravating when non-US posters scold US voters for planning to vote for Biden.
Look, I get it. Biden sucks. I hate him too. But the alternative this year is Literally Hitler, But Worse. I can assure everyone that allowing Trump to win will be far worse for the USA and the world than anything Biden might do. We do not want a Fascist USA Global Superpower, and that is what we will very likely get with Trump.
Maybe these posters have a voting system and coalition-based Parliament where they live, where they’d be justified in writing off a candidate like Biden. But here in the USA, our voting system is rigged and unforgiving, and we must vote accordingly.
I might also note that telling Biden voters to vote 3rd Party is also a well-known technique used by Republicans and foreign disinformation sources to secure a win for Trump. These posters are inadvertently playing into their hands. https://progressivecafe.social/@TonyStark/111755995729739680

  Really, I get it, but not too many people in the United States want to hear from people who don’t live here or vote here on who to vote for or how to fix our politics. I really would never think of telling someone in another country what to do, and it kind of goes without saying there’s quite a few that deserve criticism. It’s just irritating and turns people off. We all understand the U.S. has a huge impact, but really, it’s not helpful in the least.
