@thelinuxEXP The US has toppled my home country’s government at least once. It’s also done massive economic damage to my partner’s country in recent years. It’s been at war with *some other country* almost continuously for over a century.

It doesn’t matter if we don’t live in the US, whatever president they pick will definitely affect us.

Or, as someone eloquently put it “we care about US leadership for the same reason that hostages care about their kidnapper’s mental health”.
