Fortunately we have this thing called "Democracy" in the USA which means "if you don't like something you can be involved in the process of changing it."
If I recall correctly there was a big brouhaha in the late 1700s w/r/t "we should change how this country is run somewhat."
Would you have advised Washington, Jefferson and Franklin to have moved elsewhere rather than stand up to King George?
Should Lincoln, Grant et al have left America instead of fighting against the Confederacy?
How about Martin Luther King? Alice Paul? Thomas Paine? Elizabeth Stanton? Susan B Anthony.
Sorry but no. The USA is not a democracy. It's a republic. It's in the pledge if you're old enough to have said that in elementary school.
ah, so Americans can't vote for change? and indeed doing so is bad?
