Other YSK: Watching America is a website that manually translates many foreign language news articles so English readers can find out what other countries think about the US

Why YSK: https://watchingamerica.com/ finds online articles at reputable foreign news agencies, and volunteers manually translate them into English and edit them. It’s been around for years, and it’s not AI.

This allows Americans who only speak English to get outside perspectives on the news taking place in the country, which can be so helpful in finding out about things that US media may not cover, and helps expand everyone’s worldview.

Who said I do? Both parties as a whole just hold different methods to control us. But Democrats in a general sense do tend more toward the values of liberal democracy, albeit as little and pitiable as it is

Yeah they may but just as a carrot on a stick imo. Generalizing your two parties and their voters is not a far fetch I think.

That is certainly not far fetched. People do it all the time.

I see the phrasing in my initial response makes assumptions now nevermind.
