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!

In this matter, Europe can not only regain credibility with regard to our value system by granting refuge to politically persecuted US citizens. It is also a real chance for Europe, because I assume that many Americans who want to leave the country are rational people who can create a counterweight to the stupor that is unfortunately spreading like a disease here too.
Just yesterday I spoke to a physicist from the US who has been working at the university in my home town for four years. Unfortunately, his employment contract is temporary and will soon expire. He still doesn't want to return to the States because he simply doesn't see a future there. He will stay in Europe instead, which is a real gain for us.
I’m an American leaving for Canada and I am very proud to be taking my hard work, tax paying, and consumption somewhere else. I work on the PM side of cell tower projects, and I look forward to expanding BC’s services.
America is going to lose all its best workers. And they deserve it
That sounds great! I wish you all the best and much success!
Yes, I also think that Trump and his MAGA people are doing long-lasting damage. But that's also true: they and all the idiots who voted for them had it coming. I still feel sorry for the decent US citizens.
As a German, I'm most afraid that the AfD, a terrible party very similar to the MAGA-GOP, might come to power in our country at some point. Fortunately, this is somewhat unlikely, but if it happens, it will probably be the same for us.
My however many greats grandfather came over on the Mayflower in 1620. He too had to leave England and then the Netherlands even when it was hard, looking for a place for his family to have a future he believed in. I feel sad but I also think all things change and he would understand why I’m leaving.
I hope your country takes the threat more seriously than we did. There are a lot of broken hearts in America right now.
Ok so one of my ancestors did that, too, and it's more accurate to describe it as:
It sucks, but that's what the Pilgrims were about, hardcore religious oppression for everyone
The Spanish peace treaty was over. That’s why they left the Netherlands.
Same here! I'm both a skilled engineer and an artist. I'm happy to leave this shithole behind and contribute my efforts in a better land. I also have a ton of Canadian friends who are thrilled to have me back in the community.
My next steps once I get there are to get all my money out of the US
Best wishes to you on your journey!!
especially its stem advantage, now its not feasible to move to the usa as a stem major.
