    I never said impossible. I was also involved in a lot of community action during Trump’s first admin.

    See how far that got us?

    So you could have stayed and fought… but you left and are now yelling from the sidelines.

    I agree with a lot of your points, but it rings a bit disingenuous coming from someone who threw in the towel.

      I moved back because my family is here. What the fuck are you on about?

        You draw a lot of anger here in the thread it seems, but you’re correct IMO.

        Cheers.

        Not upset with you at all, nor do I blame you for wanting to be with your family. Just as I don’t blame the many Americans who are prioritizing the immediate needs of their families.

        But you are giving yourself the grace and understanding that you have repeatedly refused to give to others.

        Call me a cunt, get offended, run with “the only moral excuse is my excuse” narrative all you want. But it would do you some good to realize your reasons to move are not so different from the people you are condemning.

        “Of course I have a valid reason for inaction, but what about the 330 million other people? Surely everyone else’s lives are disposable?”
