MODERATORS
While I get it, she is a Democrat who is likely a fan of what's going on as much as you are.
Oh, I did not realize democrats where no longer american. If when a democrat was in power maga people where considered so, then in the current situation I will hold all americans to the actions of their nation.
Don't like it? Tough. Its the same way americans have treated everyone in the world, so enjoy some of your own medicine.
Oh you want to say that the dems are "fine" and "nothing can be done"? Look at Nepal, and grow a spine. But don't expect the world to separate one group of americans from the rest without actions done to prove such.
That was a lot of inferring.
Yeah almost as much as assuming that a mayor with a D beside their name means something to the rest of the world.
Not really. I, unlike you, read up on the person mentioned in the article. From an immigrant family, and critical of what's happening right now.
You also assume my family and friends are all US-based, for which you would also be wrong.
It's not my fault you want to rag on the US without reading. I'm guessing by the responses you are American despite playing the world view, but if I'm wrong, I'm sure your country has left and right parties, too, so don't claim to be ignorant to D vs R.
The fact remains that there is a lot to complain about in the US that isn't someone wishing things were better.
I looked up this mayor too. I can't find much criticism of the federal admins policies. What I do find is that she is an active supporter of Israel, she voted to invade Iraq, and she has been named as one of the US' most corrupt representatives.
So, maybe you can reflect a bit on why people aren't very ecstatic that a politician is a Democrat. As far as I'm concerned, she has aligned herself with the leopard-eating party by begging Canadians to be complicit instead of pushing back against the federal admin.
Not american.
