Unfortunately the fascists of the USA have the support of the populace at large. It's going to be a slog.

The no kings protests need to come back.

You mean the quarterly No Kings BBQ?

Americans need to learn how to properly protest. Take lessons from the French, say.

I think it’s better to encourage them if we want Trump out sooner.

Whereas I think merely ousting Trump is a bandaid on an aortal bleed-out.

Reducing inequality can be done at the same time. That orange hoser hates extra pay for overtime.

They kinda don't though, the voter turnout is at the lowest it's ever been

The real issue is there's 5 groups;

  • don't vote "What's the point?"
  • don't vote "It's a safe seat anyway"
  • do vote, but for some tiny party, and the system punishes anyone who doesn't vote for the BIG 2
  • do vote, but for GoP (slight majority)
  • do vote, for Dems (slight minority)

The majority are those first 3 groups.

Boycott US

2730 readers

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.
