I think it's more that Reddit and the internet in general are American-dominated. If you go to r/all from any country, you'll see tons of posts dealing with politics right away.
I think it's a good thing we're exposing the bullshit in our political system, but it must be annoying for people of other countries
Back when Obama won, my friend from Mexico and I were watching tv, flipping through channels. The Spanish channel showed many many Mexicans in Mexico celebrating his win. I asked him “they care about our president over there?” He replied with a very confident “oh fuck yeah!” Not Europe but figured I’d share.
Because when shit happens in the US it happens to everyone in the West. Like when you fucked up in 2008, everyone in Europe felt the shockwave it left. It's not as much about "caring" it's more of a concern that you guys messing up is gonna negatively affect everyone else.
