Our last 5 trips have been within Canada. Have let my Nexus card expire, won’t be visiting the shithole again. Europe, Central America (without a stopover in the shithole) and Northern Canada are our next stops.
As someone who lives in the US and works in parks and conservation this just makes me sad, because there's so much natural beauty here that's either being actively destroyed by our government or boycotted because of our government. I used to love showing off this country's nature and landscapes to people. Now I wish I could boycott the place too
Lots of beauty all over this world that is not run by a dictator.
When it comes to travel, it's not just boycotting but a fear for my life that stops me from going.
ICE is gleefully plotting the kidnappings of every visitor.
Smart Canadians.
We would be smarter under proportional representation.
Not really relevant to the topic being discussed, but ok...
Electoral systems affect education. The USA education system is the way it is because of the current political rules.
Oh and come drop by Okinawa if anyone is traveling to Japan because we're severely outnumbered by yanks. I'll treat you to a beer!
Democrats will not save us from fascism.
Here's the thing. I follow US politics but like, the whole "you're not hurting the right people schtick" is wearing thin on me. I don't care. Sort your shit out. We're losing businesses on our end too due to this shit. We're going to look after ourselves because obviously you guys (the dems) aren't. These Dems don't seem to want to help us ... they want business as usual and that shouldn't be what we're going to be encouraging.
Also the messages they send are weird, it's like, if you come here and can make it through border security and don't get captured by ICE ... we'll give you a 15% discount!
I posted this elsewhere. Seems appropriate here too:
Democrats are the kinder, gentler face of American fascism. Don’t forget it was St. Obama, winner of the Nobel Prize for Not Being George Bush (formerly known as Nobels fredspris or Nobel Peace Prize in translation), who presided over the War on Iraq (yes, he “ended” it, but then started it up again) and the War on Afghanistan while adding bombing attacks on Libya and Syria (and increasing by an order of magnitude the drone strikes on Pakistan and Somalia). There has never been a brown-skinned person the Democrats weren’t content with bombing or shooting abroad, even when the president was brown-skinned.
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.
