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.

It is time for a US and Canadian citizenship exchange program. There are plenty of US citizens that would enjoy life in Canada and the racist neo-Nazi Canadians would relish life in a deregulated red run Oblast.
...you do know who defeated the Nazis, right? Like in history books for real, not video games. Like, how did that world salad make any sense to you?
Hey I've got a great idea: Let's transfer pro-democracy folks to the country with a weak global standing and military, and transfer all the fascists to the world's sole superpower, operator of the largest navy, two largest air forces and the largest functional reserve of nuclear weapons on the planet.
Your schools aren't great either, huh?
America lost in Korea, lost in Vietnam, and lost against the Taliban, which at their peak was 100k insurgents.
If you think America has a strong military you need to stop drinking the kool-aid.
Canada is part of NATO and the commonwealth. America has almost no allies anymore and Canada has the most allies of any country.
Canada is more powerful than the USA.
America won in all those wars. However those wars show that winning the war isnt the end and if you want things to hold you need significant follow up and american support is fickle.
Say what now? Please explain how the US won any of those wars? Last I checked, North Korea is still a thing; Saigon was renamed Ho Chi Minh and the Taliban rule Afghanistan. But ya it was a "support" problem. They never won those wars because no one wants US imperialism.
Sure.
As a Leftist, I could never consider Canada as a viable place to live unless they repealed their repressive laws on firearms. UNDER NO PRETEXT.
Wtf are you talking about? I'm Canadian and I own several rifles and shotguns.
I just bought a 6.5 creedmoor rifle and I own an AR-15.
Keep your bullshit fox news propoganda to yourself.
I assume you are referring to how we dont allow mentally ill people such as yourself from owning firearms. Good. This is why we don't have school shootings
I'm on the far left, i don't watch fox news. And according to this Canadian source, you own a prohibited weapon https://www.publicsafety.gc.ca/cnt/cntrng-crm/frrms/paf-afa-en.aspx

"On May 1, 2020 the Government of Canada prohibited over 1,500 models of assault-style firearms and certain components of some prohibited firearms (the upper receivers of M16, AR-10, AR-15, and M4 patterns of firearms). "
It's a restricted weapon not prohibited. Mine is grandfathered in.
Good thing people like you are never allowed to move here.
Keep chugging that americant propoganda and watching those mass shootings everyday.
The American propaganda I got off the Canadian website? Or by American are you referring to when I quoted Karl Marx?
As European leftist: weirdest exchange to read 😅
But your firearms sure help you tremendously rn, while tyrants take over your country. All those upright citizens everywhere who defend liberal democracy with their muskets.
