Similar, absolutely, but there’s a LOT more uniformity to states in the US than member states of the EU. Every state speaks English, every state has the same laws generally speaking for about 90% of things, etc.
Yeah, that’s what I meant by binding. Just wanted to say that it is not really surprising that the majority of Europeans in these comments compare US states to EU countries.
To be honest in my head US state == country in Europe and USA == EU. Both are unions of states - one of them is just younger and less binding.
