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.

As a Canadian who has barely drank any bourbon since February (and has not bought a bottle), this makes me feel good.
I had a "Bourbon style Canadian whisky" today and it was pretty good. No idea what brand it was.
I feel little sympathy for these companies, but I do wish the best for their workers.
I don't. Almost 2/3 of votes in Kentucky fell to Trump, a record for that state in a presidential election.
I wish the best for the workers who aren't redcaps and, for whatever reason, aren't able to escape the state (or, increasingly these days, the country). The rest can drown in a vat of Jim Beam. They got what they voted for and they got it hard, as is only just.
At least those who voted against Trump.
In Kentucky that is probably not many, though.
Fair.
It sucks to find out about your job being in limbo or cut over Christmas, and these people have very little power to influence things.
That being said, yes, they’re in a red state and I’m so tired of American red states — they’re probably the most gaslighted people on earth.
I haven't drank any US alcohol in years.
