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.

Yeah, I didn’t love bourbon before, but my brother in law is a huge fan and hasn’t bought any.
And he buys it but also follows and has all of us enter the lcbo lotteries to buy bourbons.
I do love bourbon. I think it's one of the very few genuine contributions to world cuisine from the USA.
And I will never drink another drop of it.
There’s nothing unique about bourbon. Other places can distill it, just not market it as such.
There’s plenty of over 50% corn mash, and aged in brand new oak barrels, type “whiskeys” out there.
Okanagan Spirits makes "BRBN Bourbon-style whisky". Bourbon (as you say) is a protected designation of origin product, meaning that it has to be made in the US. It's not on the PDO list on Wikipedia though, so it appears it is a separate designation, same idea though.
Point being that you can boycott US products and still have Bourbon "style" whisky. Kind of like how some distilleries outside Scotland make Scotch style whisky, which is often very very good.
