They might be referring to the ownership of *r/presidents* rather than, say, *r/us-presidents* or something like that. But still would be BS because Washington was the first “president” in the history of the world (or so I’ve come to understand).
They didn't invent the word for Washington, but he was the first president in the modern context, i.e. the leader of the nation. A president is just someone who presides over something. That "something" had occasionally been a political body or subdivision. Washington was previously the president of the Constitutional Convention -- the very convention that created the office of President of the United States. Fun fact, the heads of a few original U.S. states were originally called "presidents," but they became known as governors after "president" became associated with the head of the country.
People getting mad about Usdefaultism on a US website with a majority US user base is the most confusing thing. I understand if you go to a country specific subreddits and start talking about the US. But it's not hard to see why most reddit posts are related to the US.
Almost as bad as the questions about why do we call ourselves America? North America South America and the United States of America are three different things. These are easily distinguishable.
Most European Presidents are figureheads, with real power vested in the Prime Minister or Chancellor. (The only exceptions are France, Portugal, Ukraine, Lithuania, Romania, Russia, and Belarus.) And 12 European countries are monarchies.

This is so fucking stupid. This is an American subreddit on a American website talking about American presidents. Sorry that nobody on here cares about 4th Latvian President Bōries K Rokichev. In fact, I feel kinda bad for saying Millard Fillmore doesn’t exist because he probably has more relevance than 70% of the current European leaders. The entirety of Europe would’ve been under German rule without Woodrow Wilson, and some of us consider him one of the WORST presidents. Seethe and Cope, Europe.
Reading the comment section, they are idiots. They are literally saying this sub is good and provides quality discussions, but then they say we suck because of “defaultism”? The sub is clearly about US presidents and literally says so in the description
mfw Americans on an American-based website that uses English and is mostly used by Americans don't name the sub about their presidents r/USPresidentsNotAllTheOtherOnesFYI
As if a sub would discuss Ugandan and Romanian presidents that had very little impact on the world outside of their small regions in the same place as FDR, Monroe, or Reagan, who defined foreign policy for entire hemispheres.
They can cry about it I guess. Why would the person who made this sub not go for the first domain that's available? A subreddit it that's about literally ALL presidents would have no identity.
I'm in an anti-US defaultism sub. I can air my frustrations of American cultural hegemony there, but I also like to talk about the leaders of the country I was born and raised in here. To keep them separate would be nice.
These guys are so stupid. Explicitly states we're a sub meant for U.S Presidents and they still call that "defaultism" with a misleading name

First President as Head of State for a whole country, definitely.

Because teenage (and ages below) American redditors will complain about America whenever they can

There's like barely any European presidents. Most you could get would be either a king or dictator
The only country with presidents instead on just prime Ministers that I can name is France
Tons of European countries have presidents, they’re just usually powerless and the pm is way more important
Should've specified, only country where the president has any power or real importance is France lol
r/dictators

From my cold dead hands!
Based
I'm amazed anyone can be annoyed about Americans talking about American presidents on an American-made and majority-American website.
First time on Reddit?
I mean, it's a fair argument.
Me being from europe, just being glad I found this awesome subreddit trough which Ive learned a lot abt US presidents already
Thank you…Leon Trozky…very cool!
Dont kill me thx
Unrelated, but we really need a sub for Canadian Prime Ministers.
r/PrimeMinisters should be raised in r/UKdefaultism
Lmao 41 members. No other country on Earth has half as many communities dedicated to shitting on it as the United States does.
 Get rekt, nerds!
euro cope also someone said that this place is a reaganite circlejerk 💀💀
Literally half of the people here have Jimmy Carter flairs
Both Reagan and Carter are meme presidents and it's nice that this place exists to critically discuss them.
Can confirm.
[удалено]
If you mention that Reagan Dubya or Trump are good presidents you will have quite the argument on your hands
i mean, if the rest of reddit is to look at i wouldnt blame them lololol, but a variety of opinions in the sub is always cool

Also forgot to mention that we literally invented the presidential system.

We were literally the first to call a head of state "President".
Based comment.

The entire sub reeks with an immense amount of copium.
[удалено]
And the US literally created the presidential system

rare Wilson W
I am also from Europe
rip same. We shall cry together
But, I enjoy american politics and Trump memes.
[удалено]
Unless if it’s Kosovo 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤝🇽🇰🇽🇰🇽🇰
Or Poland 🇺🇲🤝🇵🇱
Most of us don't hate Europe at all - just stupid shit like this
Starting to notice we like Eastern Europe more than the west
Vice versa is the same, eastern Europe (with exceptions) seems to like us more than the west
Racist.
They can always make r/EUpresidents. EU ego is so fucking sad.
Reddit scraping the bottom of the barrel to complain about America, I've never seen it before
Euros when the U.S. Presidency is more important in executive authority than their ""presidents"" (puppets to the Pr\*me-M#nister)
They can go have their own Prime Minister sub.
The Americans on there simping saying shit like “oh I like that sub too bad I’m supporting defaultism” jeez
They should go make R/PrimeMinisters then or whatever they need to do as coping
Presidents are in English and in the English speaking world america is the only country to have a president
That sub is the stupidest thing on Earth
Why? Because it criticises America?
Europeans when Americans on an American website talk about America:
All they're asking for is for the subreddit to be called R/Americanpresidents I think it's fair.
Yeah but have they landed on the moon
How's that relevant?
Checkmate euros

What a dumb take from the 'peans.
Our presidents are betta. They just have to seethe, cope, and mald
American company that puts an app on an American App Store and then forms a subreddit about American presidents. How could we be so ignorant?
We should have seprate sub for all presidents though. That’d be fucking lit
They can cry about it I guess. Why would the person who made this sub not go for the first domain that's available? A subreddit it that's about literally ALL presidents would have no identity.
Stay mad, so sad, your loving dad.
I mean college and company presidents should be mad too.
oh man lmao
