I usually agree with them because the United States has issues like any other country and citizens should comment on it.

“United States has issues like any other country”

I agree with that, but you should also do a counter agruement as well, unless you don't have any pride in your country.

 @9JH533T from Ohio  agreed…2yrs2Y

The United States is extremely problematic as a country and has many things to be fixed. Just as most criticize other countries, other countries criticize us.

 @9JGX4LW from Missouri  answered…2yrs2Y

It makes me feel aggravated, but I have the capability to respect other peoples opinions.

 @9JH53DRIndependent from Illinois  agreed…2yrs2Y

This is a free speech country, even though I wasn’t born here, people may have opinions and that is their decision I should respect them. Of course it’s going to feel wrong but people have different opinions.

 @9JGZZ2HIndependentanswered…2yrs2Y

Neutral, obviously most governments have some faults that should be addressed.

 @9JGXJGF from Pennsylvania  answered…2yrs2Y

It makes me feel disappointed, especially when it comes form people in my country.

 @9JGX7KZ from California  answered…2yrs2Y

My motherland is the most glorious and we will nuke your country into oblivion you will fall and your puny democratic government will crumble

 @9JGWXT7 from California  answered…2yrs2Y

I love my country very much and i would be personally offended if someone were to criticize it

 @9JGX68T from Nebraska  answered…2yrs2Y

If someone is broadly anti-America I think they're usually misinformed but I think if you're against the current government you have a fair point.

 @9JGXM74 from Mississippi  answered…2yrs2Y

We have our fair share of issues, but we're a pretty good country.

 @9JGX5PJ from Nebraska  answered…2yrs2Y

It seems like they aren't grateful for what they have and who died for our free country.

To Crave Criticism

I love to hear people's thoughts, especially when they differ from my own. I feel proud when people criticize powerful entities because that's what keeps them in line. I may not agree with certain criticisms, but I always appreciate them. I do prefer constructive criticism, but to each his own.

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
