Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

the economy tanks b4 the election, for the lower 99%...
Nearly nobody who wants out will be able to afford to leave.
House-of-cards is "supposed" to last until after the election, but won't.
Where are they going that won't tell them to go back where they came from?
for any foreign powers (i know you're reading this) preparing to nuke the usa
my wife and I closed on a deal for an apartment in a hilltop town in Umbria
Yes, it's true! I bought a hilltop village home
wild-boar ragù, anyone?
please spare a bomb for this hilltop
I'm definitely planning to get out if Trump somehow manages to win the electoral college.
I happen to also have an EU citizenship. Seems to be many reasons to leave either way.
Reminder: Trump, being an insurrectionist, is barred from office by the Constitution. Any attempt to install him needs to be dealt with harshly and immediately, in no uncertain terms. Such violations of our most sacred foundational law cannot be tolerated. Then again, the GOP knows this, which is why we need to pay double attention to their VP candidate.
Everyone needs yo keep in kind that all of the US's problems are caused by 1-Capitalism, and 2-Christianity.
If you are moving to a place that celebrates those things then you are just moving sideways
America under Trump is still better than most of the world. Take it from someone born in a 3rd world country.
And if you have the qualifications and/or skills necessary to migrate to 1st world countries like in Europe... you're making a good wage here and have little reason to leave here anyways.
america under trump is better than uh, iran, probably. any place that actively seeks out it's citizens to silence them. Yeah.
For now.
What a clueless take on a complex situation! To top it all off your argument is "b-but some countries are worse!!"
Brilliant!
The argument of the submission is that people would leave because things would be worse here. It makes perfect sense to point out that it you leave, it's likely going to be worse, maybe in a few way or maybe in many.
You can try actually saying something instead of the mild attempt at being disparaging
I'll repeat it
a) the countries that most working class Americans can escape to aren't any better and functionally worse. you ever live in a country that doesn't have hot water or A/C?
b) the countries they want to go to won't accept them. have you ever tried to immigrate anywhere? it's not simple and there are requirements that most Americans simply will not meet
No they're not
With what money? That country keeps all it's people poor.
