Jumping ship is giving up. You may just hit the water, look at the boat and say, "Hey, it's really not sinking and I'm all wet." Meanwhile, the people you left behind are contending with the issue that made you jump with one less person to help them.
While we're at it, I greatly dislike it when people say, "If you don't like America, then get out" or "Don't let the door hit you on the way out." It's okay to be unhappy with aspects of your country. That's where equality begins. No one owns the truth. Who are they to say you should leave? The response should be, "It's my country too. I want things to change."
