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 get rid of citizen's united and 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.

People really, really don't like hearing the truth when it's bad news. Not all of us are blind however.
It's not the truth though, and this is the kind of mindset that allows politicians to get away with sloppy climate policies (or none at all).
even in research you cant "say climate change caused by people" otherwise you wont get grant funding, thats how in denial people are.
Yeah in America maybe, politicians in Europe mostly acknowledge climate change is real and caused by human activity. However, they often think that climate policies are too expensive and unreasonable, without considering how fucking expensive dealing with the results of climate change will be in the future. Probably because they're old and likely dead by then, so they don't care.
And mindsets like "we can't stop it" and "it's already too late" only contribute to these ideas of climate policies being a nuisance rather than a necessity.
