Here’s an interesting pair of polls that, put side-by-side, paint a revealing and somewhat surprising portrait of both Russians and Americans. Gallup reported the other day that a record percentage of Russians (20 percent) would like to leave Russia for some other country. This is especially true among young people. But before you start feeling smug: Earlier this year Gallup found a similar record number of Americans (16 percent) also would like to leave their homeland.

These two groups should get together and start their own country - they could call it California.....

Absolutely, GO! How wonderful would it be to be rid of the Hollyweirdos, the snowflakes on college campuses and the Antifa and BLM thugs?

Ask any of those selfish Americans where they would go to get a better country. Offer to pay their moving expenses to go live there. I bet they can´t say. I do know where they might think they want to move to, though- Utopia!

If you feel that way about America I hope you leave soon and never return. America will be far better off without the likes of you.

Bullcorn.
Russians actually DO want to leave their country. American poll-ees just want to impress the poll-er who asked the loaded questions.

The difference here is that the young Americans pretend to want to leave, because of Trump Derangement Syndrome. They don´t really. They couldn´t make it outside of the cocoon in which they currently live. The young Russians want to leave, most likely, for the economic and professional opportunities that exist outside Russia.

So leave, Andrew. Do you really need a poll to tell you you’re unhappy here?

Poster #12: Only one side of this equation is likely "wanting to leave" to start a business. It´s not the American Millennials.

Unlike Russia, real Americans would love to see the malcontents move to whatever pig sty suits their fancy and would wish them well with "Don´t let the door hit you in the posterior region." If they are too dim to realize that they live in the best country in the world then they are beyond educating or saving. Buh bye.

How can we help? Buy you a one way ticket? Pay for the extra luggage? An uber ride to the airport?

How does Gallup collect its data? I was not asked nor was anyone I know. They must just go down into the ghetto or to Kalifornia and ask the downtrodden. I suggest a box on our tax return to donate $1 or whatever to a fund set up to purchase one way tickets out of the US for anyone who applies. I would be happy to donate.

2 things, 1. all the richie riches who were going to leave if Trump were elected, who remembers the mass exodus of righteous leftists? 2. I am willing to step up and make a contribution and I bet we could raise a couple of million over night to help the poor people who desperately wish to move to mexico or canada to get there.

Let me clarify: it´s better here. My business took me abroad. It was a huge hurdle to adapt to another language, laws, and culture. I´m glad I went, but gladder to be back. So many people I meet here just have some gauzy "Eat, Pray, Love" B.S. fantasy about other countries. No, they are real people, with real prejudices, virtues and faults of their own, and they are dead serious about them. It ain´t Epcot.

An insightful Southerner named Lewis Grizzard often reminded folks that:
‘Delta is ready when you are!”

Did they ask any Muslims if they wanted to leave this country?

Perhaps we could arrange a ´caravan´ to Russia. Good riddance. I am tired of all those tattooed and pierced weirdos.

Gee, I sure hope those haters do leave the USA, it will make it a better place, and stop them from voting for bad stuff.

I am sure that they are entirely folks who have travel little or not at all.
Having lived in Europe several times, and traveled in Europe and other parts of the world a number of times, I have said that there should be an official spot, just past the Immigration booth, at the airport, where you can get down on your knees and kiss the ground when you get back to America.
I have been a LOT of places, have friends and colleagues in at least 5 or 6 countries, and in multiple cities in some countries. I have, and do, enjoy working and touring in foreign countries, but I am always glad to be back in the USA.
Please, leave if you are not.

I understand Venezuela is lovely and N. Korea is heaven on Earth! These 2 suggestions are offered freely.
