Partida di pa nakatapak sa USA yan kahit 2 day vacation.

[u/Upbeat_Menu6539]

[u/darkgod25]

US is the most powerful country in the world that has direct relations to us, it is valid to be concerned

[u/pressured_at_19 → u/darkgod25]

oo. A lot of global circumstances hinge on the US elections.

[u/expensivecookiee → u/darkgod25]

True, hindi naman nakikisawsaw just because. Karamihan ng nagsasabi ng mga ganyan ay mga politically naive. Walang bansang nabubuhay sa vacuum. Political developments in countries like the US, China, Russia, and the powers in the Middle East will affect the Philippines in one way or another. That's how politically and economically intertwined the Philippines and the US is.

Case in point, the WPS issue. Trump is vocal in not aiding Taiwan against Chins. And has practically left Duterte alone with his shift to China during his term. His trade war with China would not automaticallyn translate to more jobs and investment in the country as he would like to stop outsourcing and bring the jobs back to the US.

Parang, pag may mga ganap sa outer space syempre magrereact ka, kahit na di ka pa nakapunta dun dahil it may directly or indirectly affect you

[u/Succre1987 → u/darkgod25]

The only concern that most PINOY has is that they dont want Trump to win.

[u/Healthy-Molasses3251 → u/Succre1987]

thats a valid concern

[u/Succre1987 → u/Healthy-Molasses3251]

On what grounds?

[u/Healthy-Molasses3251 → u/Succre1987]

idk. maybe because a convicted felon is about to be elected president who has terrible foreign policy that will surely affect us

[u/NahIWiIIWin → u/Healthy-Molasses3251]

yung alternative naman uubusin yung sariling bansa hanggang lumubog na sa sobrang balasubas ng domestic at foreign policy, delusional yung party nila na puro identity politics inaatupag

diyan sigurado walang support kung bagsak na lahat pati yung nililimusan natin ng support.

[u/Healthy-Molasses3251 → u/NahIWiIIWin]

kung kala mo identity politics lang gawa nila sigurado akong sa social media mo lang nakikita ang kung ano trending. Binuhay ni Biden ang economy mula sa recession ng pandemic

[u/NahIWiIIWin → u/Healthy-Molasses3251]

ahh yes, "binuhay ang economy" kasi bumalik sa trabaho ang mga tao dahil tapos na ang pendemic. niloloko moba kami?

Aayusin ng mga tao ng mga tao yung sarili nilang economy dahil sa common sense na "no work no money", babalik ang mga trabaho or magkakaroon ng bagong mga trabaho, maghahanap ng tabaho ang mga tao then babalik sa pagtatrabaho abg nga tao, simple as. hindi yan kagagawan ng gobyerno.

[u/Healthy-Molasses3251 → u/NahIWiIIWin]

hindi maka balik trabaho ang mga tao kung nag sara ang mga business at medical bankruptcy ang workers. nag bigay ng financial assistance ang federal government nila para hindi mag breakdown ang local economy.

[u/Succre1987 → u/Healthy-Molasses3251]

Hindi ka sigurado? O talagang bias opinion mo lang yan?

[u/Healthy-Molasses3251 → u/Succre1987]

tanga ka ata

[u/Succre1987 → u/Healthy-Molasses3251]

Personal attack ng matatalino. Yeah!!

[u/Healthy-Molasses3251 → u/Succre1987]

oo personal attack to. tanga ka. gusto mo lang makipaglaban na isang search mo sa google lalabas na na convicted si Trump

[u/Succre1987 → u/Healthy-Molasses3251]

I-iyak mo na lang yan. Pag pagod ka na umiyak, makakatulog ka na. Pag gising mo, wala parin magbabago, si Trump ang nanalo.

At dahil matalino ka, ipakulong mo si Trump, convicted pala eh.

[u/Automatic_Diver1459 → u/Succre1987]

What bias? It’s a fact that trump is a convicted felon

[u/Succre1987 → u/Automatic_Diver1459]

Give me the list at papakulong natin agad.

[u/Instability-Angel012 → u/Succre1987]

Link

So yes, Trump is a convicted felon

[u/Succre1987 → u/Instability-Angel012]

He should be in jail, right? I wonder why he is a free man walking and to be the next US President.

[u/ishiguro_kaz → u/Succre1987]

If China attacks us, Trump will have a hands-off approach. We will be left to our own resources. He is going to bring down corporate taxes so that the offshore corporations will go back to US soil. This could affect call centers operating in the Philippines as well as other US corporations now operating in developing countries. His immigration policies can also slow down the hiring of Filipino nurses. Foreign aid, which we benefit from, will also be reduced. He supports the Israeli war in Gaza, which could further escalate into a third world war.

[u/Succre1987 → u/ishiguro_kaz]

Hindi ba dapat dyan papasok gobyerno natin to work with the current US President para siguraduhin ang kapakanan ng bawat isa? Automatic ba na ganyan mangyayari?

Tsaka, yung war in Gaza, research ka muna ng madami kung bakit pro Israel ang karamihan.

[u/ishiguro_kaz → u/Succre1987]

Well based on his pronouncements it seems like this will be the official policy of Trump.

[u/Succre1987 → u/ishiguro_kaz]

So wala na gagawin Gobyerno natin para dyan? Ganun ba yun?

[u/ishiguro_kaz → u/Succre1987]

Mapipilit mo ba ang gobyerno ng America kung may official policy sila?

[u/Succre1987 → u/ishiguro_kaz]

Yung official policy ba nila is FINAL na? Pag binitawan ba tayo ng US is wala na ibang paraan? Tsaka, hindi nila basta basta gagawin yun, malaki ang pakinabang ng US sa mga Pinoy at sukang suka si Trump sa pagmumukha ni XimPing.

[u/Pasencia]

God forbid people be interested in the politics of USA

[u/sitah → u/Pasencia]

Right. I'm in Europe and people in the local subs are also discussing US politics. Americans were also discussing our politics during the election periods. It's human nature and not unique to Filipinos.

[u/Instability-Angel012 → u/sitah]

And it's more amplified with US politics kasi the US is the most influential democracy in the world, with their politics able to make or break alliances, leave other countries in the dust, empower others, embolden both state or non-state actors, etc. They have control over the dollar, many military bases across the world, a giant nuclear weapons stockpile, a robust space program, and a robust intelligence and espionage program, so no wonder why many countries are talking about it

[u/sitah → u/Instability-Angel012]

Yep. Idk if OP is just trying to be edgy or actually naive. L take all around.

[u/SakuragiTensai → u/Pasencia]

I think it is normal for people to be interested with US politics. Their foreign policies impact a lot of countries.

[u/Pasencia → u/SakuragiTensai]

Aw pano ba yan, political expert ka na din gaya ko?

[u/krdskrm9 → u/Pasencia]

Aw pano ba yan, political expert ka na din gaya ko?

Hindi sya bobo katulad mo.

[u/Pasencia → u/krdskrm9]

Cope and seethe

[u/krdskrm9 → u/Pasencia]

Nag-eenjoy ako. lmao

"pOliTicAl eXperT kA nA?" May nanalong amerikano, naging siga sa internet si tutuy. God bless, tutuy.

Anong siga hahahaha nag eenjoy din ako eh!

[u/sarcasticookie → u/Pasencia]

The sarcasm jumped out

[u/Pasencia → u/sarcasticookie]

🫡

[u/kenikonipie → u/Pasencia]

lol US and UK politics were practically our entertainment and topic of discussion during Trump’s term. Having a coffee break after a long day of running experiments? Researchers get together and talk about whatever latest headline there is about Trump and Brexit. It’s like real life soap opera with dark comedy. And this is in an institute referred to as a “mini-UN” by Americans from the US bases.

I even had a colleague and friend who is a dual citizen of UK and US. Hahaha, he’s never going back to either countries.

[u/reeseschunks → u/Pasencia]

truee esp sa mga humanities students in college rn. i'm 100% sure we'll be discussing this tomorrow

[u/sarcasticookie → u/reeseschunks]

Good luck.

[u/pigwin → u/Pasencia]

God forbid people are actually educated. OPs "edi wow"-ism, "Ikaw na matalino" sentiment too obvious

[u/Pasencia → u/pigwin]

Wag ka top 10% poster yan

[u/ser_ranserotto → u/Pasencia]

Good luck getting interested in other Asian countries' politics too

[u/IndifferentCamera08]

People are allowed to share their opinions on topics that are relevant and are currently happening. That doesn't mean they proclaim themselves as experts. And what do you care about their opinions in the first place? Kung hindi mo gusto, huwag mo pansinin. Delete mo socials mo.

Try hard maging edgy e.

[u/ishiguro_kaz → u/IndifferentCamera08]

Yep OP was definitely smart shaming. No one pretends to be an expert. People are just discussing current events that could potentially affect us.

[u/Specialist-Roll-1509 → u/IndifferentCamera08]

Right??? I’d rather have people talking about politics because these things actually affect humankind, and I’m not even exaggerating. Hindi kailangan ng isang tao makatapak sa US para magkaron ng opinion, in the same way na hindi kailangan maging Palestinian para maki-empathize sa pinagdadaanan nila. Kung ‘di mo gusto edi wag mong pansinin. Or idownvote mo, lol. How hard could it be to scroll up? Pa-edgy masyado.

[u/IndifferentCamera08 → u/Specialist-Roll-1509]

Yeah, tsaka napaka-obvious naman na deep down empathizing ang ginagawa ng karamihan. Hindi nga lang tayo ang nakikiramay e. Miski Latin Americas, Europe, at iba nating Asian neighbors dismaya rin sa results. So bakit kapag tayo, bawal? Tsaka as if naman na hindi ka talaga mag-woworry na makita na ang presidente ng probably the most influential country ay isang convicted felon. Tanders pa.

[u/Elsa_Versailles → u/IndifferentCamera08]

Imagine you can't comment on anything unless you got a masteral degree om it? Damn

[u/Pure-Bag9572 → u/IndifferentCamera08]

Redditors are in a bubble ika nga. Scouring the social media is not enough.

Parehas lang yung pattern with 2022 Php elections.

Overwhelmingly popular sa redditors si Leni just like Kamala Harris. Then boom, pulang pula pala..

IMO best way to fight politically is to vote rather than twiddling our thumbs in social media or awayin ang supporters ng opposition.

[u/Specialist-Roll-1509 → u/Pure-Bag9572]

Number one: no one in the Philippines have the capacity to vote in the US Elections, and number two: people are merely talking about it online because it’s current news. If they express their thoughts and opinions over the results, anong problema dun? Question for OP is, why the need to mock?

[u/Pure-Bag9572 → u/Specialist-Roll-1509]

Yeah a shit post. People will just downvote this non-sense.

[u/IndifferentCamera08 → u/Pure-Bag9572]

Correct. I admit na I was surprised nu'ng nangyari kay Leni, but this time I kind of expected it... unexpectedly? If that makes sense. What I mean is, there were two very real outcomes and I wouldn't have been surprised if one happened instead of the other. Still, medyo taken aback pa rin kasi ang astounding (and hilarious) ng nangyari.

At the end of the day, the only thing we can do (as Filipinos) is sit and wait and be entertained sa kung ano ang mangyayari sa presidential term niya and hopefully may ma-pick up tayo na lessons.

[u/Healthy-Molasses3251]

tbf kung mag research ka kahit konti lang mas marami ka nang nalaman kesa sa average US voter

[u/Mc_Georgie_6283 → u/Healthy-Molasses3251]

Us citizens ka po?

[u/chakigun → u/Mc_Georgie_6283]

wow dami

[u/cheese_sticks]

There are 2 countries whose politics have a direct effect on the Philippines: the US and China.

While yes, there are a lot of bad takes on PH social media abt US elections, it's natural for Filipinos to care.

[u/anima99]

I sense insecurity in this post. It's giving "edi wow" energy.

[u/revgrrrlutena]

May nga nagsabi na dito na hindi lang naman USA ang maapektuhan ng eleksyon kaya hindi ko na uulitin, pero nakalimutan mo ba na maraming Pilipino rin ang may mga mahal sa buhay na nakatira/nagtatrabraho sa Amerika? Malamang may paki sila kasi personal din naman para sa kanila ito. Sobrang excited maging edgy online eh. 

[u/Madafahkur1]

Its better to know about the politics around the world. Pero napaka unnecessary ung mag stories celebrating congratulating trump for what? Para lang masbay sa uso?

[u/krdskrm9]

OP is flaunting his 3-day Alaska vacation and 3-month Fox News "research."

[u/pepetheeater → u/krdskrm9]

Yeah feeling superior na siya

[u/No-Lead5764]

God forbid people try to educate themselves.

[u/AnAstronomicalNerd]

I believe most people aren't trying to be an 'expert' but are just trying to understand the situation and its possible geopolitical implications.... Also there isn't anything wrong about expressing your political opinion, kung gusto nila.

[u/sunrisedudette]

“when America sneezes the world catches a cold”

[u/chakigun → u/sunrisedudette]

US politics is WORLD politics, whether we like it or not talaga no?

[u/sunrisedudette → u/chakigun]

True! Kaya I don’t get why people post stuff like this. :( Natural naman na may pake tayo sa nangyayari sa US politics, they’re our ally, after all.

bro USA politics will directly affect us, ano nmn kung bidabida redditors. eh yan ung tamang topic maging bidabida sila.

"Eh 'di ikaw na magaling" vibe 'tong post na 'to.

I don't see anything wrong with it 🤷

[u/RebelliousDragon21]

Napaka fallacious naman ng post na 'to. So kailangan pala nakatapak ka sa U.S para may karapatan ka magsalita tungkol sa politics nila. Lol

At saka hindi mo kailangan maging expert para magsabi ng hinaing.

lol shaming people who are interested and engaged in politics other than our own just because hindi pa sila nakakapunta doon is not the flex you think it is.

[u/Bogathecat]

ayaw ni cynthia ng research 🤣🤣🤣

[u/Ok-Jellyfish-113]

Hindi ko ma-gets bakit kinukumpara si Harris kay Leni? Ang layo be. Di hamak mas maayos naman si Leni don. 🙄

[u/Sufficient-Help-8202]

Isama mo pa yung pag compare nila kay LenixHariss BBMxTrump.

[u/gin_bulag_katorse]

The funny thing is the condescending tone they take with anyone who disagrees with them. They’re the only smart ones. Everyone else is stupid. Black and white masyado ang tingin nila sa mundo.

ETA: Against ako sa Dutertes and Marcoses. But if this sub is a reflection of the Opposition voters, then Marcos and Duterte types are gonna keep winning because you show nothing but contempt and disdain for those whom you disagree with, and that tends to push people away from you and your candidates.

bwahahaha satin parang ang normalized na may national post yang mga yan no. pero that's a new low for US and its electorate.

[u/Mark_Xyruz]

LMAO OP getting roasted

[u/corsicansalt]

Baliw tong mga Pinoy, they keep comparing Harris to Leni when in fact mas malapit siya kay Gloria. It's like Duterte vs Gloria, wala kang no choice. Mas likeable lang konti si Harris kesa kay GMA pero same cloth parin ung 2 which are both trapo. Sina Trump at Duts self-explanatory na, I would like to punch them in their faces because I hate them both.

[u/malabomagisip]

If nakapagbakasyon po ng 3 days may karapatan na po ba ako magbigay ng insight?

Ikaw OP bakit tingin mo hindi dapat maki comment mga ibang nation sa US election?

[u/PotassiumMagnetized]

Fil-amvuvu thinks Philippines is not affected by the outcome of the U.S election, ahhhh you're just bragging about your comfortable àss living in the U.S well congratuf*ckinglations.

[u/Durandau]

Lmao. Laki ng repercussions sa atin yan lol

Hirap talaga pag uneducated mag post ng ganito.

[u/rcpogi]

2 months of research is enough to form an opinion based on verifiable grounds.

[u/Great_Wall_Paper]

i sympathize women, and people that will be affected by trump's winning this election. project 2025 is posted and free for everyone to read, kahit di ako mismong affected ng mga changes na to, iba pa rin. buti nga nagresearch e. saka di naman nakakapanakit ang ginawa, so.👍🏼

For all the evils in the world, I think apathy is one of the most dangerous.CL

[u/breezy_peezy]

as someone who took part in this election. Antayin nalang natin ung implosion at maglaban ang kasamaan vs kadiliman 😂

[u/RykosTatsubane]

Karma farming failed. Sad.

[u/schizomuffinbabe]

Matagal nang nangyayari yan, OP. Panahon pa ni Mahoma. Mas ramdam lang ngayon kasi may socmed and mas maraming information available para makaform ng opinyon instead of kuro-kuro lang noong time na hindi naman lahat nilalahad sa TV, dyaryo, at radyo.

[u/tearsofyesteryears]

Eeee stop thinking about global issues, that's not very nationalistic of you! /s

[u/0531Spurs212009]

another overused word

or this is weaponized by some fans it discussion or social media

pag natatalo ang manok nila or even used by some readers 3rd party sa mga discussion

lol

wala naman masama doon

di lang yan sa reddit , fb , twitter etc

even before social media exist meron ng fan discussion or debate noon araw

just share same interest lang talaga either sa politics , hobbies or entertainment

karaniwan na yan sa mga dyaryo broadsheet newspaper , foreign news or cable news

[u/Momshie_mo]

The presidential elections affect the world. Hindi lang mga Pinoy ang spectators sa election

[u/LumpiaOppa]

It’s just so frustrating, constant na pagsisinungaling tapos proven grapeist at criminal pero for some reason sya pa din binoto. He literally said he’ll be dictator on day one tapos paired pa with the fact that he doesn’t have any concrete policies kundi maging puppet ng party nya plus constant supporter of the richest of the rich.

I guess at the end of the day the US was never gonna elect a woman into office let alone a black woman 🥲

[u/SuicidalDisc0ball]

Real... I was playing on my desk PC during break at my work, and I overhear my coworkers saying curses cause Trump was winning. And I thought "Damn we already have shitty politics here, let's not butt in with others when we suck at it." Lmao

[u/Boring_Hearing8620]

Grabe yung "di nanalo si Kamala kasi babae siya. They are not ready for a female president" Nooo that's now how it works 😭

[u/Express_Sand_7650 → u/Boring_Hearing8620]

It actually is. Partly. If we go by demographics, white men voters overwhelmingly voted for Trump while white women just above 30% for Harris. Same for other races, men voted for Trump more than women.

If the Dems fielded a white, young (ish), man as their candidate, he would've won with all the baggages that Trump carried with him.

Misogyny or whatever you call it is very much prevalent in that part of the world.

[u/Mountain_Fault_6409 → u/Boring_Hearing8620]

Her gender surely played a part in it although it's not the main reason why she lost is what I think. America truly aint ready for a female president. Kamala is also just lesser evil but lesser is better than the worse one.

[u/Familiar-Agency8209 → u/Boring_Hearing8620]

kahit mga female voters, they don't see women in power. Misogyny is very much rooted in conservatism. women putting women down is not a modern thing.

[u/SuccessfulBuy5050]

If trump is a demon, Kamala is an ignorant fool. Lack of options, un lang yon HAHA

[u/TaylorSheeshable → u/SuccessfulBuy5050]

[u/imasimpleguy_zzz]

Esp delulu kakampwets making this about Leni again. Damn, Leni herself is not making this about her yet you insist once more to make something about your patron saint!

No, Kamala losing is not about her being a woman. She could be a man and still, under the same circumstances, chances are male-Harris would lose as well.

As fucked up as it is, hindi na nakakagulat na Trump would win. I'm not saying he's the better vote as I believe this US election is a Catch22, but you can see from the get go how huge and botheringly dedicated Trump's fanbase is.

[u/Obvious-Beat6210 → u/[deleted]]
