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'm not even entirely sure why you have a vendetta against hasan, but okay let's roll with that line of thinking.
Does this also mean that we should cancel Bernie Sanders for having Zionist takes at one point? Even when he has changed his stance and is infinitely better than most around him?
If only the right wingers were this divided, we might stand a chance.
I mean... They are. They just hate what they think <\EDIT> liberals are <\EDIT> more.
This is a aspect inherent to the conservative vs progressive mind set. This is an extreme over simplification, like really extreme and doesn't really apply to Trump, but here goes:
If your side wants things to stay the same, that's it. You're done formulating views.
But, if you want things to change, now you have to answer the question of what needs to change and how.
I try and make clear any significant changes i make to a post.
It's more important when someone has already replied, but i tend to do it even when no one has in the same way i use my blinkers while driving, even if no one is around.
