I'm not sure where I'll go. Canada seems to be the default for most ex-Americans, and I like it there, but I've only been there during the summer. Besides, I don't want to live in a British Commonwealth country because I dislike monarchies (even constitutional ones). That pretty much limits me to Ireland if I wish to stay within the Anglosphere.
I know that there are no countries that have ever existed that precisely match my political ideals, but I hope that I can find one that at least could be called "sane", even if it is still somewhat capitalistic.
Yeah, I know I sound incredibly naive right now, don't I? I know my country has a fair number of redeeming aspects, but they are definitely getting harder and harder for me to see.
Everytime I see some bullshit like this, it (either way), it becomes my feverant wish for the folks who say this to actually not be chicken shit and leave. this sort of false bravado makes me I'll. Why wait, even 8f not this time a Republican will win, it's how the process works. Sometimes your party wins, sometimes it loses, Hurry up, don't wait to suffer the disappointment. A nation without free elections awaits, Somalia would love to have you.
US isn't the only country with free elections~
