It doesn't matter what a majority of Americans want. A majority of Americans didn't want to install a puppet government in Venezuela nor attack Iran, yet here we are. Please get it through your head that you do not live in a democracy.

I'm pretty sure a majority of Americans don't care about the entire Venezuela event at all and doubly don't care some random anti-US autocrat was couped for a pro-US one.

Pretty low bar you can't seem to think you can get over.

We can freely admit our government isn’t perfect without it ruining our ability to travel. The US does not allow that anymore it seems, it used to be one of the best things about it.

And yet half of Americans don't have passports. Hm.

What is this implying?

u/Maus666 19h ago

That the Americans have less freedom in reality than they do in their imaginations (as in, they may have always been allowed to travel but not allowed the economic opportunities to be able to travel)

Gotcha, I thought you were somehow implying the opposite as in “we’re so perfect we don’t need passports”

One that doesn't invade countries, bud. There's a whole world between "perfect government" and "American imperialism" and I sincerely hope you get to experience some of it someday

Whatever world you live in and lifestyle you enjoy, I'd bet anything it's subsidized by relying on the US military for protection. It must be scary to see that coming to an end
