Personally, I consider it a civic duty to help fix the country instead of abandoning it. If all the good people leave, things are gonna get way worse, and it’s gonna start leaking all over the planet.
Unless you can alter laws about corporations, lobbying, and billionaires, the USA is going to be changed by good people staying there. The power of the people is now a facade, you’ll get arrested for domestic terrorism charges or something
I believe he meant the racism was in saying that to people to be anti immigration. As in: we don’t want people from mexico coming to america! Stay and fix your own country!
If everyone was like that, wed have little ability to immigrate anywhere
I agree and in the case of the us I think the onus is a bit higher considering our history. Folks were here before us and folks are here because of us and the least we can do is not be a shit show.

I will agree with that statement 100%
however, there’s a caveat where if someone’s personal safety and life are at risk by the state, there’s absolutely no shame in fleeing.
also the “stay and fix your country” is usually a racist dogwhistle. I am assuming you don’t mean it like that. just bringing it up
I’ve been doing that since Clinton and all I see is people clamoring for “centrist” candidates who are now so far right, “center” is right of Nixon.
Is “stay and fix your country” a racist dog whistle? I wouldn’t imagine racists would really consider leaving in the first place.

it’s used against immigrants or refugees. “they should stay there and fix their problems”
Ah. Well, considering I’m referring to my own strategy, I think I’m safe.
yhea, I assumed so. didn’t mean to accuse you.
It’s already affecting the planet in extreme ways. I’m with you, we have to stay as long as there’s a chance we can help.

True, true. It was “want” to leave though.
Do you always run away from your battles? It’s not about wanting to fight, or get hurt… It’s about wanting a better country, and a better world.
Me? No. I don’t live in a shithole country. I really hope Americans can fix their shit so it stays that way.
I can see that, but if the want to stay eclipses the want to leave, arithmetically I consider that a net “want” to stay.
True, true…
