The Guardian reaches millions of engaged readers around the world, and some of our most exciting work comes when they talk to each other.

As we looked through our coverage of this US election cycle, we realized that this was already happening: people wanted to know what the situation looked like from outside and inside the US, and they had some real questions about what exactly is going on.

As the responses come in, we’ll read through and again select the most interesting and emblematic to publish late next week.
