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.

Yep, many are divesting in USA companies, and bringing their money to the EU.

Yup, and to avoid another US 2.0, it's advisable to invest in worker-owned co-operatives, into independent, investigative journalism, and pro-democratic, antifascist movements. Be critical of algorithms that foster polarisation and right-wing sentiment.

More democracy means better business, better labour, better wellbeing environments. Social wellbeing pays off greatly.

Exactly. Get a subscription on a good newspaper, it helps protect independent journalism. Become a party member, and make sure to vote. Naturally, that is not reeeeally a US boycott, but this is the right time to adjust your personal strategy.

Yup. I can recommend the Jacobin, Follow the Money, Die Tageszeitung (German), and De Correspondent (Dutch).
