You should be ashamed of yourself. Many wonderful people live in this country. We have so much to do - and yes, we are plagued by many horrors - but we persevere.
Instead of persevering, how about you fix the problem that no other developed country has?
What do you want me to do? Wave my hands and say some magic words and presto have everything be fixed? It doesn't fucking work that way.
I do what I can within my means. I vote every election for candidates supporting gun and mental healthcare reforms, I do my best to educate my less politically aware friends, I support activist organizations, etc... I'm fucking sorry if I'm not personally out there torching politicians houses or whatever the fuck you expect me to do, but I've got people that depend on me not being in fucking prison.
You ever considered that maybe the US deserves to be ridiculed for seeing children die and choosing to do nothing about it?
I understand it's a touchy subject, but come on. It's a serious stain on the US. The US deserves immense criticism for it.
