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 bunch of idiots who think Trump owns every business.
A poor economy weakens the president. Especially one that claims so much ownership over it.
A poor economy weakens us all and Trump's already kicking the shit out of the economy by deporting laborers and enacting broad tariffs.
He singlehandedly reversed the inflation trend in a month and his funding freeze is the ultimate loss of money velocity. IN A MONTH.
No, this is about harming the businesses that support the destruction of the American democratic republic not just businesses owned by Trump.
No, this is about harming every single business everywhere. The event organizers and their leader Schwarz specifically do not want targeted boycotts.
From the article above.
Ok buddy, how does your quote differ from mine in a meaningful way.
me- this is about targeting large businesses that support Trump not just Trump businesses.
You- that’s wrong this isn’t targeted
Your quote’s last sentence “However, official messaging from The People’s Union suggests a boycott of all major retailers, with the goal of enacting broader economic change.”
I added emphasis as this is in fact targeted. It targets larger retailers. How is that different than my claim.
