If you say “I’m going to America” pretty much everyone on the planet knows you mean “I’m going to the United States of America”. No one cares if someone uses the short hand of “I’m going to America”.
Debatable: if someone says that, pretty much everyone would think that such person is from US.

I like your America, you Americas are so unlike your America.
God bless the United States of America
Best part of Gondwana
I wouldn't willingly live anyplace else.
I consider myself an Oregonian first and American second. Most of the country I can absolutely do without.
Oregon though...
I could do without most of Oregon too
Non-American here. You all keep making up the vilest "jokes" about French people. The sheer level of ignorance and disrespect deserves nothing but contempt and derision. And that's what you'll get from me and most of Europe.
Better learn to cope 😒.
I hate it despite realizing what a good life I have because I was born here with a lucky set of circumstances (cis white male). But I love parts of it, like the Bay Area and Oakland and all the surrounding hiking spots. If we didn’t share it with lunatics I’d feel a lot better about it from a policy perspective.
No, but I like it more than China and Russia.
America is addicted to money however, and has a warped idea that working hard is somehow what life is about. But it's still not close to fascism and there is some accountability still.
Idk the Republicans seem to really want fascism.
