This is another example of US centrism.
This is politics@lemmy.WORLD.
From the name there is no indication that this wouldn’t be about world politics.
Please rename the community or change the subject to world politics and create a community like uspolitics@lemmy.world.
Edit: For all those saying “Well, just post stuff that’s not about the US”:
The issue is that currently the rules forbid exactly that.
Rules
[…]
- Must be articles relevant to US political news.
This is the point that should change. It’s not about how many posts will then be US-specific or not, it’s just about whether you are allowed to post about non-US-stuff.
This is the sanest take.
People get mad about the amount of US news, but forget the US is essentially 52 (or more if we broke up by sheer size, or by populations or cultures) countries.
It’s against this community’s rules to discuss non US politics.
Yeah. This whole post is technically discussing about that rule.
Sorry, I was trying to reply to the person above you who was saying to just post other stuff is the sanest take.
And the rest of the 194 nations of the world? The US is not the biggest nation in the world, and definitely not the only one.
if we’re talking politics in English, it’s arguably the largest, though that depends on how exactly you weigh 2nd language speakers in India
I don’t think it makes that much sense, however you slice it, tbh, see my sibling comment.
