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.

No, actually she worked on one of Kamala Harris' campaigns and proudly wears the campaign tshirt. Which is why her attitude confused me so much. I'm not sure what's going on with her other than that even a well educated American can still have a lot of indoctrination and believe the American way is always the best way.
Leftist groups in China have learned not to engage with American leftist groups since the 2020 Pride fiasco in Shanghai. American groups always act as if they know better than locals what local conditions are, what local culture will or will not tolerate, and what tactics will or will not work under local conditions. The LGBT community spent decades on patient diplomacy winning all kinds of victories (like queer sex being removed from criminal law and queerness being removed as a mental disorder) for themselves. Then in 2009 they got persuaded by American LGBT groups to hold Pride events. And when that didn't get stomped, to get more and more confrontational and strident in them.
Until in 2020 the authorities had had enough and stomped. Hard. Undoing at least three decades of the patient diplomacy in the process.
Now leftist groups in China do the polite "nod, smile, ignore" cycle when told by Americans how to run their affairs.
