Who do you want to pretend to be having an exchange with, given nobody else was participating, at the time? Do you often go down these 'look how cunning I think I am' rabbit holes?

I don't remember seeing those candidates, or has this devolved?

I can see that the comments and pages who have been made since I logged out is a Domestic political discussion among my American friends.

So I stay out of it.

Huh. You've not always had this policy. Nor do I demand it of you.

It happens I forget it and join a discussion. I feel it's not my right as an outsider not a citizen in your country, to take part when you discuss who you voted for and why a.s.o.(A domestic political discussion)

When it comes to voting it is international-There's no different when it comes to an American voters and voters abroad.

I think you are wrong there Markus. This is an international forum and the thread, US Politics Thread 2021 is not restricted to Americans only. You should feel free to post any comment in that thread that you like including how Americans vote as long as you abide by the rules of SubSim.

Vikings are always welcomed in the U.S. politics thread. You guys discovered America long before Columbus did.

A historical correction
Columbus did not discover America. He discovered that it was possible to cross the Atlantic without falling over the edge.
It was Vespucci Amerigo who discovered North America.

According to the Saga of the Greenlander, Bjarni Herjólfsson was the first to clap eyes on North America. Indian legends tell of copper mining in Isle Royale and the Keweenaw Peninsula area done by fair-haired marine men.

Yes the Viking discovered North America/Canada first.

You mentioned Columbus as the person who discovered North America and it was this I reacted on. You could say North America and South America stayed unknown for hundreds of years-Even though there are historical report indicating that there has been visitors in South America and North America before Columbus and Amerigo.

Sorry, only meant to say Northmen arrived here long before Columbus was thought to have.

EuroAsians now known as American Indians crossed the land bridge in the west some 16,000 years ago and the Vikings reached our shores by ship from the east 1,000 years ago. We’ve been a melting pot of people ever since.

For some reason though it was said the Vikings left the area abruptly. I think it was when those Acadians moved in the neighborhood.

Yea we had to run them. They were bringing down the property values with all that sword fighting and the heavy metal music.

The first people to enter Canada, America and perhaps South America was the Indians.

In a history program about the first person in America I was told that they came via Bering strait.

But when this happened no one exactly know.
