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.

I strongly disagree. In all common use, American refers the 50 states and 14 terriroties of the United States of America.
Language can be powerful, but this is simply not how this word is used, and I would kindly suggest that you not give the regime any ideas. Lol.
We sell software by region, America is one region which includes USA, Canada, Mexico.
But America is the country and "[The] Americas" has always been the region from what I've seen
United States of America is the country. There are other countries in the Americas. But yeah people drop the US part often.
If look at how the US is acting, they are definitely acting like "Uh... we're calls Americans, so North and South America is ours, it's only logical". They fucked up most South America (after the Europeans did of course) and continue to act like it belong to them. They just kidnapped the leader of a South American nation as if it were the 53rd state, said "we'll rule and you better give us primetime access to that oil! it's ours already".
It's an idea they can steal like the land, it has been the modus operandi for more than 50 years.
