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.

Lol. Canada was one of the only countries that used to trust America. No one wants to play with the bully
We didn't fully trust them.
But it was convenient to deal with them, based on proximity.
Now that they've gone full retard that proximity advantage isn't worth what it once was.
Problem is everyone wants to play with that bully even now. The world wants access to the American market since they are by far the largest and they consume the most.
At the moment, until the current administration tanks the economy and destroys what is left of the middle class.
The Chinese consumer market flirts with being larger than the American one. Per capita they spend less, but there's four times as many of them and this balances out.
I think at the immediate moment the Chinese consumer market is very slightly smaller than the USA, which makes your "by far" kinda comical to read. But in the last five years China and the USA have swapped places a couple of times for largest consumer market and projections to 2030 will have China consistently beating the USA by that point.
So smart money doesn't want to play with the bully. He's falling over.
China doesnt have a fair market to compete in so although it seems like it will over take the US people are very hesitant to switch focus away from the US.
Define "fair market"?
not having the government repo all your assets and IP and spin up a clone.
Tell me you have no fucking clue what you're talking about without using those words.
China my dude. You can hardly make a movie in hollywood these days if it can't appeal to the Chinese on some level.
