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.

Our education system is a joke. You have to be proactive in your education here if you want to actually learn and most people are too lazy to do that. I’m not really blaming the people though cos it’s our system that encourages it.
its worst now for younger generation k-12, and even some recent college students, than in the 2000s. theres actually some regression going on in education in the us.
Parents have a lot to do with it too. Conservatives go on and on about things that are a parent’s right to teach and then teach none of it. It wasn’t in high school that I learned how to file my taxes, balance a check book, or repair a sink among many other things.
at first it was reading writing below a 10 grade level 10years ago, by my english professors observations and now its like 4-6th grade, they probably arnt even essay writing in hs anymore? plus grammar wasn't really enforced in school system for decades. parents are half the battle, but the school system is so bad that they are passing D or f students in the mid 2000s already, once these people reach community college, or equivalent, or even a low level state uni, they become surprised that thier C isnt going to push them far as well.
