2020 US General Election Thread XII: The End

[Jedi Council]

Then stop posting about how god awful the US is and how Arabia would be better.

Honestly the tendency go think of America as this absolutely desolate dystopia is just disgusting when you consider the suffering endemic to places like Syria, Afghanistan, Somalia, the Congo and many many others.

We all see the world in different ways, I guess. Mine is my own and yours is yours.

If you see the world in any way that has Saudi fucking Arabia as being better than the US than I suggest you go to the optometrist.

It's like comparing about living in the suburbs because you have annoying parents and demanding to go live in the homeless tent city across town. It just reeks of privilege

[Tarsonis]

Feel free to leave.

I'm having G.W.-era flashbacks.

Nah, I wouldn't say that to people who are just being critical of the US and legit want it to be better. I will say it to people who actively say they don't want to be citizens anymore.

I guess I'm privileged then, in some ways.

No no, not in some ways, if you are being honest and not just willfully controversial for the sake of it.

Feel free to move to a place where they stone apostates and execute gay people.

But why stop there? If the US is so bad why dont you go do the full pull and live in North Korea. It would be such a relief from the despotism every American faces on a daily basis.

To be fair, if 50 percent of the country believes you are subhuman hoping to change the country for the better may be unrealistic.
Then again, saying you will move to a country where 100 percent thinks that...

Myopia isn't a particular useful outlook.

Gotta laugh when I hear people call Biden a communist.

I'm more of a communist than he is, and I am not a communist.

Biden is not a communist but he is a Marxist.

Oh being critical of the US is not only fine, its preferred.

Hell, I'm Canadian, being critical of the US is a defining feature of our national identity.

As someone who actually did leave the nice suburbs because I had annoying parents and went and lived poor across town, I'm very glad I did.

I just feel like I would be happier living somewhere other than the US is all. Whether it be Canada, Paraguay, Benin, Serbia, Bhutan, or I guess Saudi Arabia.

Further cementing Canada's role as a loft apartment over a pretty great party.

Would Marx agree ?

You could be much happier in Canada, the UK, Denmark, or any country objectively better than the US.

But whining about the US and wanting to go live in a place that is objectively worse, and largely not even comparable, is just nonsensical.

Worse than nonsensical really because it shows a total misunderstanding of any good things America has to offer, things that many people in poorer nations would love to enjoy.

[Bombadil]

Markets are really hyped for President Biden because it means more stimulus checks for big business. I'm not even lying, there was a WSJ article about this.

If Hayek was alive today he would pull a Cato and kill himself.

I think they're more hyped about there being the stability of a establishment president with a congress and court that can keep him in check.
That and they're reacting to the good 3rd quarter reporter and the fact that we should see a vaccine for covid in the next quarter.

Yeah, Biden is set up for some early wins however the charge will be he isn't recovering the economy quick enough, much like Obama.

Still, we have a couple of months of Trump fucking things about due to being a total sulk instead of a remaining president.

And begging your pardon, that's fucking ridiculous. I mean I can understand wanting to live somewhere else. I wouldn't mind moving to NZ or Europe. Iceland would be nice, if they'd have me. Hell, even Canada, (though I expect Jedi to do everything to block my immigration.) But the idea that "Anyplace else is better than here" is just fucking dumb.

That's just how desperate I am to leave, honestly.

You're serious. Like, actually serious.

As a Marxist I would not have voted for Biden if he wasn't a fellow Marxist

Hey, I'm a globalist, if you wanted to come to Canada, the door is always open.

I'm just not sure how much YOU would like it

She's not the embodiment of evil and she's better than Pence but warmongers and drug warriors are still really bad.


Depends on what they voted on. The Iraq War is a big deal.

Dear lord, the Senate was misled about Iraq, the whole country was. You know how many Senators voted for it and then regretted it literally months later when they got new information?

It might speak to poor judgment on Biden's part, and on the part of many Democrats at the time, but it doesn't make him a bad person.

He'd been advocating for war with Iraq long before it ever came to vote.

Just an unpopular opinion I suppose. Just how far the political discourse over the past few years has pushed me, in a way.
