    I hear you, friend. Just remember, they don’t live here. They haven’t experienced the calculated dismantling of our education system. They haven’t seen the meteoric rise of Christian nationalism. They don’t know how sick and tired the general population is. Social safety nets are more robust in their countries, so they don’t have nearly the same number of racist, angry, lead addled boomers managing to gain a chokehold on every aspect of our daily lives.

    But we do live here, we have experienced it, and you are not alone.

        I agree with you. Hopefully we get to see the electoral college and two party system abolished in our lifetime, *in favor of direct democracy, ranked choice voting, and a parliamentary party system that actually reflects the needs of the people.

        *I can’t believe I had to add that.
