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.

My constructive suggestion was for people to stop saying they are unintentionally boycotting things. It just seems self-congratulatory and smug and every boycott discussion is just choked with those comments.
I was writing third paragraph about how if you aren't shopping somewhere that is being boycott, you can help by spreading the word. I deleted it once when I had the realization that it doesn't matter what I say, the next boycott post will have the same comments and that I'm getting worked up over something I can't change.
Yeah I mean it sounds like your feedback is "stfu" and that's not very helpful ๐
"Unintentionally boycotting" messages do have value. If people can live without these companies on accident, it gives people hope that it will be easy to join the boycott.
