  • Americans are not the caricatures of evil and malice you seem to think we are.

  • Just in case you're sincerely confused, no I'm not suggesting that.

  • That proposal died in Congress 7 years ago.

    We Americans are not the monstrous caricatures you make us out to be. We're not evil. We're not wicked. And the US is not some dystopian nightmare. It's actually a pretty good place to live.

  • Literally the first comment was disagreeing.

  • Except the OP's point would be much better made by criticizing something the US doesn't actually do pretty well at.

    Wouldn't it?

  • Then somehow I'm in the wrong thread.

  • That's ridiculous.

  • My point is that it's a bad example.

    Your just keeping an ultra narrow focus because you think it’s helping hide that fact

    No I'm not.

  • I get what the tweet is trying to say. What I'm saying is that wheelchair accessibility is a particularly bad example for that point.

  • Because the US law was passed in 1990.

  • The context of this thread is my criticism of that example.

  • It supports my point.

  • Which takes us back to my first comment.

  • Europe didn't have a law about it until 2016.

  • The topic at hand is wheelchair accessibility, though.

  • Are you referring to something specific?

  • Of all the things you could reasonably criticize the US over, wheelchair accessibility ain't one of them. Especially compared to Europe.

  • I'm an older millennial and have never even bothered to get a driver's license.

  • This isn’t foreign policy.

    It's a policy that pertains to how the US relates to a foreign government. If that's not foreign policy, nothing is. Plus, have you read the lawsuit? It wants the court to order the president to "influence" Israel. Influencing a foreign government is smack dab in the middle of the president's authority.

    Congress absolutely has the right to tell the President they can’t give stuff to war criminals because it’s our stuff.

    Yes. And they have declined to do so.

    The Leahy law doesn’t say if the executive feels like they’re war criminals

    It says the Secretary of State shall make that determination. Secretary of State is part of the executive branch.

    You think we have a king. We do not.

    That's obviously not what I think.
