I can't even bet on my own country's political race because i live in America.

Polymarket takes free markets and speech as inputs and outputs truth - this at a time when truth is needed more than ever.

The fact that U.S. users are blocked from using it shows you have far we've strayed.

I'm skeptical of the prediction markets.  Especially those betting on a U.S. election when U.S. residents can't participate without jumping through hoops.   It's not at all a representative sample and fluctuates even more wildly than the polls done in the U.S. do.

Except that prediction markets are often wrong
