      If you don’t live here, why would you comment about how we vote? Voicing your opinion on a topic that you “don’t really care” about is meaningless at best and harmful at worst. If we were anything alike you’d recognize that, and you’d be advocating for more access and methods for voting, not less.

        If you don’t live here, why would you comment about how we vote?

        Because America has stuck its fingers in the business of every other country.

        How you Americans vote impacts the rest of the world.

        And in the case of your current federal government, we are being impacted especially negatively. (As are you guys, but shooting yourselves in the foot is less of a concern to me than the fact that the stray bullets are flying past my head)

          Sure but when I comment about Canadian politics, I do a some preliminary research to understand the baseline facts and context before commenting, something this user clearly did not before making a flippant and asinine remark backed up by nothing.

          Then more people from all over the world should be encouraging Americans to push for more mail-in voting (and other expanded voting options). Not telling people to “bloody well queue up”.
