You should be every day voting with your wallet to prevent money flowing into the wrong hands. Boycott these ALEC members who non-stop fund the republican war chests:
- FedEx
- UPS
- Motorola
- Anheuser Busch
- American Express
- Chevron
- Marlboro
- Sony
- Texaco
- Boeing (fly on Airbus instead)
Quit driving. It’s not just the fuel burn that harms the environment. When you buy fuel, you fund the oil companies who fund republicans. There is nothing worse for the environment than republicans.
Find out which companies funded Trump’s war chest directly, and boycott them.

There is likely a long list of banks. Banks love republicans in general. We need to get that list and get people off those banks. People should be using cash anyway since banks finance fossil fuels, private prisons, and republicans.
Europeans— You can take these actions too. You couldn’t vote for Kamala but you always have the power to vote with your feet.
I didn’t say it’d have any practical consequence. It would, however, maybe keep alive the dying ember in my soul that there’s a tiny shed of hope for some future generation.
Do they? I’ve been boycotting Nestlé for about a decade now, and they seem to be utterly indifferent to the fact.
I… look I get your point, but at the risk of nitpicking, how are they supposed to not put gas in their car? Quit their jobs, or get fired because they won’t come in to work? Even if you live in a city, most in the US have barely serviceable public transportation systems, and companies are going hard-core rolling back WFH.
Has it stopped Israel’s invasion of Gaza yet? Heck, it’s even limited in effectiveness when whole countries join a boycott. Russia’s under sanctions, which is just a fancy word for country-level boycotts, and while it may have slowed them down, they still seem to be making steady progress. “Blood diamond” boycotts haven’t put Debeers out of business yet.
Boycotting is mostly a feel-good gesture, or, I’ll grant, “at least I can feel like I’m not contributing” moral superiority - which certainly has value.
You seem to think I’m anti-boycott, when I actually just think they only rarely move needles.
Gerrymandering affects state legislature, which translates directly into local laws that directly affect things that influence general elections - like voter intimidation laws, registration laws, mail-in voting laws, judicial and law enforcement elections, and countless legislation.
Uh huh. Boycotting’s going to reinstate Roe v Wade. You go ahead and message me an “I Told You So” when that happens.
