If you live in the Northeast Corridor (DC, Philadelphia, NYC, Boston) then the Acela express is really convenient. The only catch is that a Megabus trip is usually 1/3rd the price.
If you get a "Service unavailable" message when trying it out, it means you are region locked because you're in the EU. Clear your cookies and use an American VPN to access it. Its very annoying, but at least the workaround isn't too much of a headache. Yet.
I want you to read your post again, but keep in mind that the American population tends to vote around 50-50 Democrat-Republican in each election. Instead of simply assuming that you're reading posts from the other 50% who also want to have a voice, you're jumping into weird conspiracy theories.
Choose to believe what you'd like. Economist isn't reporting on this it's a silly little message board.
100% everyone should have a voice. That said, harassment and abuse shouldn't be tolerated on the internet if we don't tolerate it easily out in the real world. I don't use the word troll lightly, people were getting stalked and doxxed.
The US is a big place. If you live anywhere within a 2 hour drive to the beach, then its common to have weekend trips where you spend some time swimming in the ocean.
