[quote=So Boerd]
Americans help other Americans across the country and show solidarity with them all the time. Remember "Boston Strong"? Or the aftermath of 9/11? Sure we argue, but Americans are incredibly tight-knit when the going gets tough.

When disaster strikes, perhaps, but in the running of daily life? In terms of helping others with daily struggles? Not even slightly. When there has been an "attack on America", America responds, I'll admit that. But beyond those times of perceived threat to the whole of America, not really. When the struggles only exist for [i]some[/i] of America, the rest seem to feed them to the sharks. 50 million people without healthcare can go fuck themselves. (I'm sorry to return to the healthcare example, but it's the one I'm most familiar with and regard as most fundamental.)
