As the rest of the world, why would I care about elections results on another continent? US should sort their problems themselves. I don't even want a vote, our countries are independent from each other and we both decide for our own.


As someone with a german passport (federal elections next year) and living in france (next presidential in 2027) I do care. Europe is next. Make no mistake, the money that bought this election will try to get the european power houses at a discount, now that they have an ally in the white house.


The money in this election was mostly on Harris' side. It lost. It's not money that decided this election, it's hubris and bold face lying by a charlatan.



Money did not buy this election. Attempts were made on the Harris side, however.


They probably will. The EU is a neoliberal institution; it is not long for this world.


But most of the truly thorny problems aren't "owned" by any one country.


I'm an Israeli who was born in Ukraine and lives in the Netherlands. And I care a lot about the outcome of the US election because of Israeli military partnership that is going to be affected by the new administration and because of the new US administration trying to break free from NATO, which will put my livelihood and that of those close to me in danger due to the looming war with Russia. Not to mention that I don't expect to see a lot of the male classmates to show up at the next class reunion because of how US foreign policies will affect the war in Ukraine.


Migrants in S. American states care!
