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.

I don’t even care if it’s helpful for trade negotiations. It’s great for our economy and it’s good for me.
Canadians have been feeding the US economy for a hundred years. Why the fuck would anyone vacation outside of Canada?
Framing it as "helpful" is stupid and irrelevant. Where you spend your hard earned money is a form of voting. Buying a product isn't just a simple trade of goods and services anymore - it hasn't been in a long time as long capitalism is the dominant form of monetary policy of the governments around the world.
Again people, keep voting with your wallets. It's actually more effective than what many governments at many levels can do!
It’s the only real power we have.
Because despite all their bullshit ideologies through Hollywood, America only cares about money.
It is! Thank you for the help.
this is another one of those opinion polls where public opinion doesn't matter, depriving the empire of your money is demonstrably helpful
Four in five Canadians surveyed believe boycotting U.S.-made goods or avoiding travel to the United States could help strengthen Canada’s bargaining position with its southern neighbour...
It should not be a bargaining position. It should be a straight-up divorce.
I mean tbh as someone in the states I don't even know what good we make that's even remotely worth
Alc -> plenty of alternatives esp with european selections Produce -> there are alternative importers (depending on region) Fast food chains and junk food -> nah lol
Bourbon, for me. It's the one consumable product made in the USA that qualifies as a genuine contribution to world cuisine for me, and I am going to miss it tremendously.
There's always other distilleries that do similar things.
If you absolutely have to travel here… I hope nothing happens. If you can’t find an alternative good… sorry for the trouble.
I don't know if it's helpful, but I know a lot of Europeans around me seem to also boycott anything US out of principle nowadays.
