If you go to jail, they take away your right to vote.

That shit's pretty ass-backwards.

Being a good country isn't solely to do with what it's like to live there. There's also how it acts towards the rest of the world and in that area the USA is a terrorist state.

Our health care system is objectively among the worst, and since that's such a massively important part of life that alone makes the USA pretty shitty for many, many people. Even if you're lucky enough to avoid illness and injury, affording monthly premiums on even an HDHP plan if you're one of many people who make $15 or less is just too much to the point that many simply go without health insurance and hope for the best.

The housing crisis is just as bad and just as important, though I'm not sure how it compares to other countries. I'd have a hard time believing it's worse in many other developed countries, though.

We are literally fighting politicians for things that everyone else in the developed world already have.

I'd leave out the last two.
Me too, those horrifying spiders in Australia are a real dealbreaker.

I believe our economic mobility is what attracts so many foreigners. Peasants of 3rd worlds moving to a country like the US and making lives for themsevles isn't a story you hear much about from other countrys? I think.

*Perceived economic mobility (not to say that it's not better than many countries, but it's far from being at the top)

You get that in any developed country, then all the racists moan about it.

For example, loads of Eastern Europeans come to the UK for that exact reason (though that might not be the case now) and the UK is nothing special.

It'd take several posts to list all the ways America doesn't come close to being the best at things.
