Yeah almost as much as assuming that a mayor with a D beside their name means something to the rest of the world.
Not really. I, unlike you, read up on the person mentioned in the article. From an immigrant family, and critical of what's happening right now.
You also assume my family and friends are all US-based, for which you would also be wrong.
It's not my fault you want to rag on the US without reading. I'm guessing by the responses you are American despite playing the world view, but if I'm wrong, I'm sure your country has left and right parties, too, so don't claim to be ignorant to D vs R.
The fact remains that there is a lot to complain about in the US that isn't someone wishing things were better.
I looked up this mayor too. I can't find much criticism of the federal admins policies. What I do find is that she is an active supporter of Israel, she voted to invade Iraq, and she has been named as one of the US' most corrupt representatives.
So, maybe you can reflect a bit on why people aren't very ecstatic that a politician is a Democrat. As far as I'm concerned, she has aligned herself with the leopard-eating party by begging Canadians to be complicit instead of pushing back against the federal admin.
Not american.
