I can't vote (green card) but it does affect me (permenant resident) I shouldn't have to declare that in every conversation. It's a bit "papers, bitte"

Yeah I get it, as someone living in America, fair enough, you shouldn’t have to qualify it.

It’s not a great solution. There’s just no way to tell and after getting into minutiae with people, who don’t live here and can’t vote, enough times, it seems like we could avoid some miscommunication that way.
