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.

The problem is China subsidizing their cars to suffocate the European manufacturers. When all the European manufactures are closed or sold to China, you'll see the real prices.

EDIT: Also, soon? They are already here.

The subsidies aren't special at all compared to US and EU ones, and they're apparently going to be phased out over the next 5 years. This supposed evil scheme just doesn't seem to exist; the truth of the matter is that China just makes better and cheaper cars.

Yes. I'm aware that they subsidize the shit out of a lot of stuff. They saw the chance and took it. Of course, I'd like to see European cars, as that also means workplaces and plus for our economy.

For a greater time we already compete a lot with Japanese and Korean cars - I mean they build good cars. But in the end it seems more fair. And for what I know is that they also do very good options on the EV market - but will hardly compete with BYD or Xiaomi vehicles.
