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.

Can you expand more on the court laws of Delaware and California?

[–] moody@lemmings.world 25 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Delaware in particular is very business-friendly in terms of law. Many businesses in the US incorporate in Delaware specifically due to how friendly the law is to their interests, usually to the detriment of the consumer.

I used to work for a Delaware-based company. It had no employee from the US, we worked from one of the cheaper eastern Europe countries, the only person who lived in the US was CEO's wife.
