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.

Ironically, it wouldn't surprise me if their brains are full of microplastic.
Microplastics are competing over their last firing neuron with lead
Instead, they must rely on reusable bags they bring themselves or purchase from the retailer. Critics have complained that too many extra bags have piled up in their homes.
also love this line; so fucking stop buying new ones instead of bringing the ones you already have you dumbasses.
At some point I expect to see an article about how drinking dihydrogen monoxide makes you gay.
That would require us Americans to stop being stupid and remember to bring the reusable bags.
i have 3 collapsable small bags on my gearshift and a set of bags by Lotus that link together with velcro and fill a large US shopping cart. Each of the Lotus bags can fit a case of beer. There’s no reason to not have a bag.
Thats one reason the TX Legislature banned plastic bag bans in the state. Didn't matter that even the small city of Laredo was saving a couple hundred thousand on cleaning up the waterways while the ban was enacted. The legislature couldn't have cleaner streets, cleaner water plants, clearer storm drains, and government savings, because it was so oppressive for people to remember to bring a bag or pay 10¢ for a new one.
Plastic bags! Lawn Darts! Televangelists! Smoking sections in restaurants! Muscle cars! Measles! Vote for me, and we'll bring back all the greatest hits of the 1970s.
How about implementing that cool schedule where you could only buy gas every other day of the week? That's an old fave
Only if it's leaded
Smog days! Tenament fires! Unemployment!
But not high marginal tax rates, stock buybacks being illegal or high levels of unionization. Not the stuff that actually made people feel better.
Don't forget polio, and the good old days when womens' only expectations were to give birth to children & serve her husband 💖
I really don't want another pointless war in a faraway jungle, but it's looking like that's also a thing the republicans want
why would you want plastic bags when reusable ones are so much sturdier and can hold more
I don’t want plastic bags but, in a race to the bottom, retailers have made the bags “reusable” in that, yes, they can be used again but are a thin fabric that tears easily.
