Not even close babe.

Really?
There was a better time to be an American for people of color? For women?
Oh do tell…when was that???

VERY proud. I was born somewhere else, lived in many countries and had chance to get other citizenships through work but this is HOME now by choice not because of lack of options.

I feel like with all the issues we've here are fixable and even with those issues, we are still better off than most nations. That being said, we can and need to do better. Neither Biden nor Trump deserve to lead this nation. We need someone younger, compassionate, decent and intelligent with vision and experience.

…….and close thread. Well said.

I'm proud of the country, our people and the constitution, not of our government and their policies. Since Obama left, its been a downfall AND I don't even like him but Trump and Biden really make him look great in comparison.

Very proud to be an American. Would rather be an American than anything else. Without a doubt the rest of the world sucks.

Do we have issues and problems? Sure. But this is the best place with the most freedom. Is that unequal? Of course. But we work on that as we have.

We lead the world not by force although we could. We lead based on our ideals and what we aim for ever if we do not get it.

We are the only country that matters in the world. The only essential country.

We don’t get it right all the time but that is also part of what makes me proud to be an American.

Extremely proud. This is the greatest country on earth.

Our ideals are not a purity test. They’re a call to action. What makes a Great American is how they have moved us towards realizing those ideas. Because of people from all walks of life and birthplaces and points of view, we’ve made tremendous progress. Because of people from all walks of life and birthplaces and points of view, we have a long way to go.

Awkward. especially if your parents moved here to provide you with opportunities that you could not have had in their home country.

I am very happy to be an American. I am often sad and perplexed at some of the things happening in America and also the lack of leaders who can actually deal with things in an effective way and with integrity, both parties.

I am also sad that so many millions of people admire and support someone like Biden. I believe this says something very negative about our country.

Pretty sure most Biden voters do not support Biden. We just know the alternative is far worse and damn near apocalyptic frightening. The alternative is a liar, thief, sexual predator, grifter, philanderer, adulterer, opportunist, diaper wearer, narcissist, sociopathic individual. Give the voters a better an alternative, but you don't.

Genocide and segregation? Yes, the USA has a history of both. I hope we as a nation has moved beyond that. Unfortunately, Israel is still practicing such atrocities. Shame.

Wellllllll……coalition building with other like-minded nations and coercion backed by threat of force, you mean.
It’s like saying women have rights because they “fought” for them. It’s only partially true. Women have rights because we used our collective persuasion to convince enough men it was a good idea, and then men allowed us to have. If men did not want us to have rights, they could have prevented that through force, but they did not because we are a country that wants to live up to its ideals.

At least, I’m able to change some things that are unhealthy.
- it’s the fast food, sugar nation. This has been killing so many people over the years.
What I do to change it? I avoid fast food chains, threw away all refined sugars at home, adopted the Mediterranean diet, started an exercise routine, appreciate small things in life, love my parents, spread the word about the benefits of lifestyle changes.
We do not need sugar.

Is this the point at which we discuss the atrocities toward gay men and women that are still being practiced and supported in Palestine, or no?

Sugar is yummy and we’re all going to die someday.
