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.

You can at least favor smaller companies instead of the big corpos. By the way, are there small family-owned businesses still surviving?
It depends on the industry. You'll see some independent bookstores, a few art supply stores, and other niche things that corpos don't really do well enough to completely obliterate all human passion in the sector. Otherwise? Nah, the only other area where mom-and-pop stores are doing well is restaurants. I had to drive four hours to purchase a lenovo computer from an official retailer (a mom-and-pop joint in the middle of nowhere in Massachusetts), since I refused to use Amazon.
That's sad, but at least a few sectors persevere. I hope the anti corporate movement gives them a new breath
