Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It's fun! We have apps that we use to scan barcodes, helping us identify American products so we can leave them on the shelf! Any sense of loss on any nostalgic product, is easily forgotten, as i purchase trays of one and a half dozen eggs at will.
Quite well in imagine. He'll be eaten if and when it becomes warranted.
Which is why we look elsewhere for reliable trade partners.
The momentum is dead. I get you want to say "we're doing great" but our fellow Canadians already forgot. This is my point in all of this. Not being honest in this very serious situation is not doing any favors. The news cycle moved on. The mob moved on. There's outliers holding the fort but that main body moved on and it's frustrating to not address that. It's extra frustrating that I know you care but that you'll say "it's going great" when you and I both know it isn't. That the pressure stopped building.
The fuck it is.
Maybe the clowns you hang out with, but I'm not interested in wimps, or their wimpy friends.
Your point is to supress meaningful actions and attitudes, so I don't give a shit. Patiently unhelpful.
The doom and gloom is gloomy, because i said so.
According to me, and in keeping with my goals of dissuading activism. You must believe my assessment.
Don't know what you're trying to say here, other than trying to be a momentum killer, so who gives a fuck.
Your disingenuous empathy simulation has done nothing to move me towards the specific futility that you're marketing.
Just like your credibility as a reporter of reality.
Incidentally, your posting history defines exactly what you are. Not only am I unmoved by your bullshit, I'm now enjoying how inept you are at this.
You probably should have left it at one pithy comment and then left.
How much credibility can you possibly have, when you post about Joe Rogan praising Trump?
Hopefully you're not a Russian on a troll farm, as your work sucks, and your superiors would move you to the front as drone fodder.
Just like the last boycott was super effective 😆 We're fucking cooked man. Living in denial isn't helping shit.
Look I like your passion. You care. But don't let that cloud the reality of how fucking garbage we all are at this. You're holding on too tightly to people who aren't putting in the work. They're all waiting for media or politicians to help them. These people can't be bothered to maintain any of these movements. They'll stand around in a street for 8 hours, go home and just move on with things. Rinse and repeat.
It's like being in a boat with a hole in it. You can keep bailing out the water for everybody, but until you patch that hole, you're just going to keep sinking.
But I'll listen. What metric are you using to determine the boycotts are having any kind of significant impact. I can go on many sites and barely see any mention of things. No new contact. No discussion. Maybe an article a week mildly related to it.
The right has tapped into something. Go mention Rosanne on a YouTube video and watch the comments come in. There was a video of Jon Stewart skewering Republican the other week. Fuck all for engagement, a lot of comments were shitting on Stewart for being a fascist sympathizer. The right are playing chess and we're eating the pieces from the checkers box in the garage. They're putting in the work and it's fucking brutal to realize. But it's true.
So I'm scrolling, look at this

Do you think you'll see memes and jokes of this huge L for Trump or it go away in like a day or two? I haven't read the comments, how many are just "he's racist" said ad infinitum. Not only is there no momentum. The memory fatigue and lack of content refreshing is killing us
Unconvinced. Watch me not buy American goods.
No you don't. I find your faux empathy to be idiotic.
Significantly more than you do.
Your failures are your own. Quit chirping, start lifting.
Remarkably, your words do nothing to draw me to your idiotc side.
While i campaign relentlessly for complicity. My view only coincidentally in lock-step with foreign propaganda efforts to undermine national unity.
Enjoy more doom and gloom imagery, in keeping with my brief to sow discontent and pessimism.
Of course you will.
You're working under the assumption that I give a fuck about your points. Your overarching agenda is clear, and there is no useful function in attempting to persuade you of anything.
The only thing that you could possibly get me to do, is boycott a specific American company or industry harder by naming it.
Not only would that be personally delightful on principal, I'd enjoy knowing it was because of something stupid you said.
Furthermore, you get me all excited about thinking of trade agreements with everyone but the United States.
You've inspired me to redouble my efforts.
Elbows Up!
Ok you hold on to those hopes and dreams and wonder why your still losing at this stuff year after year
