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

      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.

    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

    Speaking of, everyone should be aware of the rainbow railroad:

    https://www.rainbowrailroad.org/

    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.

      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.

    Except for that brief period where you turned up 2 years late to the party and proceeded to take all of the credit. Yes.

      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.

          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

    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
