@IkeOkerekeNews We Europeans see things from different perspective. It's a waste of life to hope for a change in the US. You will find out in 20-40 years.

The major difference is Europeans refuse to fall in line and insist on voting for their favorite party even if the vote would be wasted. Americans always fall in line to vote for one of the two major parties.

I think the best thing Americans like you can do is move to Europe if they can. American government doesn't give a damn about its citizens because you guys are easily replaceable - there are countless wannabe Americans waiting to be legalized. If you're not happy, these people will gladly take your seat. That's how it works in the US. You will never achieve a change through politics in the US. Fortunately for you, it's much easier to live in a foreign country these days than 50 years ago. Americans don't see it but in Europe being bilingual is going to be a career advantage in 21th century. Kids would have dual citizenship...

Varoufakis is a communist, no way I would ever vote for such a party. Best wishes from eastern EU.

@larrymcdonald8084 You sound like an alt-right supporter. Far right parties in Europe rarely have more than 10% support. They are fringe movements. They are the only ones talking about topics you mentioned. In America they call themselves Trumpists and are avid America First supporters. The most likely place Americans would go in Europe is Germany, France where cities are quite diverse. 21th century is going to be about close cooperation within the EU, where languages, mainly English is needed. This offers a chance for Americans to stand out, whereas in the US they would be one of millions of ordinary Americans.

@ethantinklenberg6607 We Europeans understand American lefties, they just want what's already working in Europe. So argument that they misunderstand economics won't fly.

@lucadesanctis563 I think many people don't mind migrants as long as it's decent people who bring useful skills in. But those people need to be selected, not randomly chosen.

The whole EU is mostly a left wing institution.

As someone who lives in Czechia, I would never vote for a former or current communist. They are criminals.

@MrSeal-oy3fu If you want a change you need to start with yourself and your immediate family first. Only good role models can promote positive change.

Greetings from eastern EU.

Grexit would mean Greece want's to rip off creditors - fellow EU countries. It cannot happen.

Not a good idea as it requires higher taxation.
