There is no collective guilt by race, nationality, sex, or any other such shared characteristic. We are rightfully held responsible for what we do, not for who we are. For better or for worse, being American was part of our identity from the time of our birth.

If you could change this, you would, right? But there is a limit to your individual power in this situation.

Some of us happen to think that we actually do better by staying here and fighting, continuing to vote and try our very hardest to directly change the system, rather than self-righteously quitting and leaving behind our families and friends here. I don't begrudge those who choose to go, but don't attack those who remain.
