Boycott US

Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

Ya get what ya vote for.
DC voted 90%+ for Harris. There’s almost no chance he voted for this.
Sorry, it's been ten years of this. I'm kinda done with giving nuance to Americans.
Harsh? Maybe, but when even the Democrats are caving in to Trump's demands for fuck all reason, I'm just done caring about what the thoughts of people down South are.
Literally been told by "left-wing" Americans that my thoughts and opinions on their politics don't matter even with the bullshit going on, and all I can think of is how I as someone over the border wouldn't have to fucking care if they treated this guy like the fucking threat they supposedly see him as rather than do nothing more than tell people to vote as if that's some big fucking accomplishment.
If getting out to vote is supposedly all that people could have done against this and nothing else (their words and actions, not mine), then yeah, ya get what ya vote for.
Now imagine how much worse it is actually being here and being one of the targeted groups.
Maybe taking a break from politics to get your energy levels back up is not a bad idea. This political stage being played by what seem to be litlle children with bad parents can be quite exhausting.
Fighting trough the tiredness and just not bothering to do what you think is right is not a good solution. It might be better to be offline for a bit.
Perhaps I sound like an idiot, but whatever
Around half of Americans don't even vote too, further reducing the chance.
23% of America voted for this.
Yeah, a lot of people don’t vote out of apathy, but IMO straight up voter suppression (especially the less overt kind) is an understated effect on our elections. It would be ridiculous to think having the world’s largest prison population per capita doesn’t also lead to a huge reduction in voting rights for those imprisoned, both currently and previously.
Not voting is a vote for the guy you absolutely would never vote.
DC is in the US however.
Yes, I’m not saying it shouldn’t be boycotted. I’m contesting the idea that the cab driver got what he voted for.
If only that were true, my friend. But it's not, as you must know. Remember 2000? Disenfranchisement? Redistricting? The electoral college? ... But go on, blame the victims. Meh.
How can you hate a whole country full of people many of whom didn't vote for any of this shit. Wild
I can be just as upset at the ones that didn't care enough to vote as I can at the ones who voted for this.
