We need work to end the two party system, NOT work that demonizes people for making rational choices under current circumstances.

From Chinese to Italians and beyond, maligning a culture via its foods is a longtime American habit in c/[email protected]

Every cuisine except for those of uncontacted tribes is shaped by migration, trade, economics, etc. The ingredients Italian cuisine is most known for are pasta (derived from early Arabic forms of noodles) and tomatoes (South America.) You can say Lasagna was invented in Italy, but you can't say it's the product of cultural purity that Europeans tend to think of their cuisines as.

Only to the degree that the hamburger actually is an original American dish does "pure" cuisine exist. People looking to discredit American food call it German, and while it evolved from Hamburg steak, by most accounts the first people to turn that into a sandwich, and then top it with cheese, lettuce, and tomato instead of gravy were in the United States. Burgers are German only to the degree that Bahn Mi is French.

What kinds of food can 100% be attributed to the US? Fast food? Spray cheese?

None, but the notion of any "pure" and "original" cuisine existing is a myth that normalizes nativism.

Who's going to stop you?

Anyway, US politics affects the whole world. I hate a lot of the commentary coming from particular regions (Western Europe, Australia, Canada) but it still affects them.

I'm a zoomed so I can confirm you completely failed to bring up any media relevant to Gen Z, and Star Trek TOS and Ali are closer than Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, and Bond.

I'll be the first person to explain how the math on third party candidates doesn't work out, but I'm really not into this "blocking them from the ballot" thing. Whether it's the Dems with Cornell West and the Green Party or the Republicans with the Libertarians and RFK Jr.
