As an IT freelancer, I prefer to work with Americans, Canadians, and Australians — it just makes the language barrier nonexistent. Most of them seem reasonable, and they’re never dismissive or unappreciative, while Europeans rarely consider hiring me — one Danish dude told me I lost the bid once which made me feel like I was in a talent show or something. Of course, I always make sure to provide an excellent service no matter who I’m working with, since making a good impression can really make any kind of stereotype irrelevant, and believe it or not, I’ve had clients from Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh send me a tip after a job well done, which once again proves my point that, as long as you’re exceptionally good at what you do, anyone, no matter who they are or where they’re from, will appreciate you for it. As far as I’m concerned, jumping to conclusions will lead to confirmation bias, so anybody with common sense should avoid that.
Anyway, back in high school, one of our teachers saw the U.S. being a two-party system as a good thing unlike my country (Morocco), which has 30 political parties; I remember him saying, “Americans are so in agreement that they don’t need more than 2 political parties unlike us with our multi-party system, constantly arguing, and never achieving anything.” In my experience as a netizen for the past 18 years, the way Republicans, and Democrats argue with each other is kinda scary (like Sunnis and Shiites), and I doubt it’s only for the clicks and views. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be frowned up for Americans to casually talk about politics like, if you know that every conversation about politics will turn into a heated debate, so you avoid that, how’s that being “so in agreement”? Would having a multi-party system cause more divisiveness in the U.S., i.e., would it be THAT bad? I guess we’ll never know.
