    The world is a backward place, but you’re overthinking it.

    I don’t think this post is more than poignant politicking that is refreshing to see.

    Its popularity is mostly reflexive of the geography and demographic of the current users of the fediverse when it was posted - and the ease of a one-tap stamp of approval.

    Just curious: Which article should we read instead?

      reflective of geography and demographic

      Yeah, I made an error. My interface called this community just “politics” and when I checked the instance I mistakenly assumed “politics@lemmy.world” was a global politics discussion, not US-specific. Other English-language news and politics communities are also dominated by US internal political links despite not being dedicated to that topic, so I didn’t notice this one was intentional. I’ll be more thorough in checking the sidebar in the future.

      article you should read next

      Well, even though I thought this place was for international stories, I’ll stick with the community’s theme to answer this.

      The article on the first amendment lawsuit filed by Johnson and Johnson has potential huge consequences for US healthcare: https://lemmy.world/post/1734658

      For happier news, the thread on Maine expanding abortion access: https://lemmy.world/post/1786031

      And for one from the same OP in the same community, the guardian article on AI in politics is a decent summary of some of the problems the US election is up against: https://lemmy.world/post/1786031

      you’re overthinking it.

      Probably, it wouldn’t be the first time.
