You've been paying for boomers' retirement, there literally won't be enough young people to pay for ours unless rich people start having to actually pay into it too (on their whole wealth/income not just the measly limit we have now)

Sure, but i bet the news of a 10 million people saying they're going to boycott would still hurt their stock price

Trump voters are misogynistic assholes, that's a given, and pay off the reason the Dems shouldn't have been trying to get them... But it's not like a bunch of people who voted for Joe went and voted for Trump... He didn't get more votes this time. Millions of Biden voters just didn't show up... And I don't believe for a second that they didn't show up because they just didn't want to vote for a woman

It does suck that this country has so many misogynists... But they are a known factor and can/should have been planned for... that's not what cost Dems this election

Not yet... Recently moved to a new state, but back in my old state I was active with my county Dems and started my own Dems in my small town... I'll get back to it here soon

Hmmm... Yeah... I'd want to do a "change XYZ or else" kinda campaign

That's a lot for a young person to have to process... Do you have a therapist who can help you with that?

[-] Wes4Humanity@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

Oh nice... I want to use the boycott as a threat though... Like, did Bud light actually change anything to prevent the boycott?

How do you feel about it?

Do you think it would be possible (and how could we get it done?) to unite millions of people who collectively agree to target an individual company for a short time unless the company meets our demands? For example, for the month of March we all pledge to not purchase anything from Apple unless Apple does XYZ... Either they do it, or we tank their stock... Move on to the next company target

They know exactly what their doing... Even more reason to replace them

Maybe it's back down to "normal" inflation rates... But Kamala should have come out swinging to raise minimum wage to $25/hr, tie it to inflation, and mandating everyone get a 40% raise to counter the 40% inflation we've had since the last time minimum wage was raised. Something along those lines... As one thing in a long list of things she should have done... Sure it might have cost her the (checks notes) zero votes she was able to scrape off Trump's boots, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.
