This is a rhetorical question. Of course we are. Time to start an underground railroad I suppose.
Always have been.

Why? To keep foreign resource markets open to our profiteer's exploitation.
Social tolerance of Greed\avarice is a blight that is ending the world by several vectors.
Time to start an underground railroad I suppose.
Speaking of, everyone should be aware of the rainbow railroad:

As far as I'm aware, they don't help get queer people out of the U.S., but it is only a mater of time with how things are headed. Donate if you can.
Sad we need this, glad it's there.
Guantanamo Bay. Abu Ghraib. Proved to me that we were the baddies back in 2002. This is not a revelation.
I recently ready about the atomic bombs again, so the us has quite the history of being a silly goose. The bad part about it, the us does not seem to learn from their mistakes and show remorse, but rather not talk about it and brainwash the west with patriotism
Past two days? Past 5 decades
Yeah, we've just been Weekend at Bernieing this "democracy" for awhile now and it's starting to really really stink.
It's crazy seeing you guys finally clock on to this from over here in Europe. We've been trying to tell you for well over a decade!
It's been obvious since the 2008 election that we never actually improved. People just sort of hid it for a while, but it was always there and it's all out in the open now. We're the shithole country.
Nobody was ever punished for 2008, in fact they were instead rewarded with ever-increasing protections. That and decades of defunding/redlining education and this is the result.
One person was punished for 2008. A whistle blower.
The 471 days before that, we were aiding & abetting a genocide.

Can you imagine the US reaction if China had the number of troops we have in Japan right off our coast?
we've been the baddies for a looooong time.
My comrade in christ the US has literally been openly committing a genocide for 2 years now
Are you sure it's not 248 years?
Except for that brief period where you turned up 2 years late to the party and proceeded to take all of the credit. Yes.
more people voted for this than the alternative, which is the worse part, it was by choice
Less than 25% of the US population voted for him. Of the people that voted, a majority voted for him, but an overwhelming majority of Americans did not vote for him.
elegible people that didn't vote, allowed it, so was their choice as well
In all fairness a pretty large Google search like right around the election was "did Biden drop out?"
I think the vast majority of the non-voters are completely blissfully ignorant and just do this all day:
I suppose they "allow" it in that they can't even be bothered to give a shit. :/
And the opposition party is gaslighting them into believing that most Americans are on board with all of it to make their job easier
Most Americans are.
This is America. This is the official entry. Chosen.
And the alternative was also evil
Don't let perfect be the enemy of good
Ok. But the alternative was also evil
Which was more evil though?
About the same, either way, my point was that Americans voted for evil.
Always have been.
It makes me laugh that that skit is the first skit you see from that show, like it's skit one of the pilot.
I just hope us Canadians don’t do what we did during the Underground Railroad. Letting the slaves in to be free, then also letting in the slavers who were pissed about losing the war
No, our politicians and the dummies that follow and support them blindly are the baddies.
