Don't shop until after election!
That’s the best form of protest we can give. If we buy only essentials. Don’t go to restaurants. Don’t shop at Amazon. Don’t buy clothes, furniture, TV’s. No big ticket items!

If we must buy, buy second hand.

Trump tried to take credit for this boom economy from our President Obama whose policies began this ten year unprecedented economic boom! When Obama hits the campaign trails, make the contrast stark and resolute!

We do not want a Swamp creature for a president!

Even the DUmmies don't like this boycott.

 :rotf: How many times on DU has such a boycott been proposed? :rotf: Generally or some target? :rotf:
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

I'm totally fine with this. If they actually paid for anything on their own before now, they'll be starved and dead before they could vote in November

You show 'em who is boss tiger.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

This plan sounds just as plausible as let's all buy new cars, insured by GEICO, and wreck them.  To eventually bankrupt GEICO, and then they can't advertise on Fox News!

8. Have been a more conscientious shopper since tRump took office

Have foregone buying a tv, and I’ve passed on several pairs of shoes. Am wearing out old purses/bags. I like thrift store shopping.

I use vinegar, dish soap, and occasionally regular bleach as my primary cleaning agents around the house. Are cheap and I’m not buying as much from chemical companies. Was done with oven cleaner years ago - that shit is toxic awful. I could go on about big chem, but won’t.

Adopted using cloth napkins before he took office, and don’t buy nearly as many paper towels. I don’t bother folding them, bleh, no - I just shove them in a drawer.

Bought carbon offsets last year for a flight.
And, am making efforts to drive less/purchase gas less often.

I don't know, how do you do that?  I don't really want to know.

The only way I see the DUmmies doing this is if one replaces the word “shop” with the two words “use soap.” :whistling:
"Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of Liberty." - Thomas Jefferson

"All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk!" -Ayn Rand
 
"Those that trust God with their safety must yet use proper means for their safety, otherwise they tempt Him, and do not trust Him.  God will provide, but so must we also." - Matthew Henry, Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32, from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible

"These anti-gun fools are more dangerous to liberty than street criminals or foreign spies."--Theodore Haas, Dachau Survivor

Chase her.
Chase her even when she's yours.

If we must buy, buy second hand.
I've got a six-pack of second hand beer I'm willing to part with.  :whistling:
Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”
