r/buycanadian has managed to inspire the creation of other subreddits (I saw one for Europe too). I was wondering if anyone has made one for the us, but specifically something like “buyblue” (not something like buyAmerican, because I think that would spread the wrong message). If one exists, can you post it in here? I think we (I’m referring to myself and other Americans), should be following the Canadians by example a lot more. Idk, I just think having a subreddit specifically focused on it would make it a lot easier for people to boycott Trump supporting businesses, since everything would be all in one place. Also it would be a good way to promote businesses who share our ideals, especially smaller businesses. 💕

This is a repost of my old thread (I deleted and changed the title, thanks to a suggestion 💕)

EDIT: r/progressivedirectory, please give them your support, and help them grow!!!

    I keep finding myself in those spaces and wondering how I can participate as an American. This is a great idea. If you make one I would sub

      Support local (and Canadian/Europe/others), stop buying from companies who benefit the most from Trump. There’s an entire billionaire cabinet to start with.

        I’m in the deep south. I’d be hard pressed to find a local business that isn’t a Trump supporter.

          Meaning companies like Amazon, whose CEO is on Trump’s cabinet. They’re the bigger fish to fry, its not so much about small local businesses who support Trump, its the ones who directly benefit the most out of it by having government control.

        The unstable market will cause the rich to get richer and the poor to get poorer. It will put stress on a lot of companies that are in the between.
