- englishrookie 2y agoI would give all US passport holders the advice to think more carefully about who they vote for...
- Kon-Peki 2y agoUS passport holders are not a representative sample of US voters.
- FinnKuhn 2y ago1. EU citizenship is not a thing. You can only have citizenship of a EU member state. 2. Looking at who the majority of Americans voted for no thanks.
- nobody9999 2y ago>2. Looking at who the majority of Americans voted for no thanks. It was a plurality, not a majority of the ~64% of the electorate that bothered to vote, not a majority of the US population. So roughly 30% of eligible voters (who make up ~70% of the population , so ~20% of the population voted for Trump[0]) So, if you don't mind, let's not paint all Americans with such a broad brush okay?

- jfengel 2y agoThe 36% of the electorate who didn't vote is also kinda no-thanks. Many of them had reasonable excuses, due to how hard we make it to vote in this country. But an awful lot of them took a look at the two candidates, shrugged, and said "Looks like a tossup to me." I can't imagine the EU wants them much more than it wants the 30% who actually voted for it.
- FinnKuhn 2y agoDeciding to not vote is agreeing with the majority of those who did vote.
- casenmgreen 2y agoThoreau would say voting is a joke anyway =-) a gentle wave of good-wishes as some vital cause happens to pass by.
- casenmgreen 2y agoI may be completely wrong, but it seems to me EU citizenship is actually really a thing. You have the citizenship of your country, and if that country is in the EU, also conferred upon you is EU citizenship. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union_citizenship https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union_citizenship
- FinnKuhn 2y agoThat is what I am describing in my second sentence. You get it in addition to having citizenship of a EU member country, but you can't get it by itself (which is what the comment I replied to implied).

- admissionsguy 2y agoWish there was a similar US visa for Europeans, but it would probably get swamped with applications
- readthenotes1 2y agoThe recent surge of migration into the US came from many places, but Europe was low on the list. https://www.newsweek.com/trump-biden-immigration-border-record-charts-data-1925985 https://www.newsweek.com/trump-biden-immigration-border-reco...
- dietr1ch 2y agoThe desire to move to the states is proportional to how shitty is back home. People in Europe have little motivation other than making some money and moving back
- k0stas 2y agoDaft is an unfortunate choice of name.
- sleepyguy 2y agoIf you are a 1st or 2nd generation American citizen and have parents/grandparents who held citizenship from an EU Country, there is a strong possibility you could qualify for that country's citizenship. A family member recently received Polish Citizenship through a Grandparent that held it in 1938 and immigrated to Canada after WWII. Worth checking out, giving you the option of living and working on both continents.
- kageneko 2y agoAfter some research, mostly in /r/GermanCitizenship, I recently applied for and received my German passport, based on my mother being German at the time I was born. There are a lot of subreddits with a lot of useful information. Search for "citizenship by descent" (not just on reddit and not just about Germany) and you'll be overflowing with stuff.
