Interestingly, it seems the non-US expats here are most gobsmacked when I tell them that I'm not voting for either one. And even more astonished when I tell them that as bad I think Trump will be for the country, that I suspect Harris will be even more horrible.

I suspect it's b/c most of them are Brits or Europeans, and are a lot more concerned how the election may effect the Russia-Ukraine war. On the other hand most of the other Americans here I've talked to both here and during my recent US trip seem either somewhat weary of the whole spectacle, or just not excited about their candidate and the only tiny amount of passion they have is in their hate of the other one. One has to suspect the non-stop US media coverage of this circus of assclowns is the reason for the difference between the US and non-US perspectives... it'll just wear a person down over time.
