    It’s simply that everyone is able to talk about politics and news events.

    Not everyone knows every sport, is interested in all video-games, or likes a lot of music, or watches much tv/film etc.

      Depends. I’m not American, most of the US politics don’t affect me.

      I follow my local news, but that’s a much lower volume what the US news and politics amount to daily.

        Fair enough. But much of the world has a good knowledge of US politics even if they are not affected. Including me. And Americans are disproportionately overrepresented on social media sites like this.

        Moreover, international news certainly can be commented on.

      So should we drown you with Swedish, Latvian, Spanish, French, Italian, …, Turkish news?

      90%+ is ragebaiting Donald trump, musk, or all the other yards in the vicinity of the white house. I’d love a “good” news outlet BTW, I have blocked all the “world” etc.

        I didn’t comment on whether or not the prominence of US and international news and politics was good or bad, just explaining why it dominates.

          Fair enough, I was also just speaking my mind I guess, sorry if it came around as agressive or wrong.
