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!

A better protest would be to absolutely boycott one single company. Just pick one company and just completely shut them out. Pick a grocery store chain ... just completely blank them out ... or a clothing store brand, just completely block them ... or a gas station chain, just shut them down.
Go about your regular shopping and spending ... just avoid one company that everyone agrees on. Keep up the boycott until you drive that one company into the ground or just completely wipe them out.
Then move on to the next company .... and keep doing it over and over again.
This way, everyone can keep up their habits of wanting to spend money on whatever they want. No one person would ever really be terribly inconvenienced. Most people would not notice any changes and everyone could go about doing what they always did with minor changes ... but it would send a very strong message to every company out there what power people have over them.
This is why I come to threads about protesting. Ideas instead of bitching and complaining. This is kinda genius ngl
Wasn't everyone supposed to boycott Amazon, Microsoft, Walmart, Target, Chick-fil-A, McDonald's, Netflix, Paramount, EA, Ubisoft, Tesla, Ford, Goya, Heinz, J&J, P&G, JPMorgan, Bank of America...
Those boycotts are working out great.
Idk abt you but none of those have gotten my money in years...
I'm doing my part get out there and urge others to do the same. I know I am
