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.

Be that as it may, 30% is the floor for conservative voters. Conservatives don't vote the way you think. You're looking at the facts of the current situation, who is running, and all sorts of things that to the conservative mind is completely irrelevant. 30% will always always always vote for the loudest, most aggressive, most conservative available candidate, not because they are the best person for the office given current conditions, but because that is what one does. They do it out of a sense of duty, every election, whether they are 50% ahead or 50% behind. It's part of their identity.

Progressives just don't vote like that. You're modelling conservatives as though they were just progressives with different opinions. They work differently. But if you ask me, WE could learn from THEM.
