I get what you're saying but you're not hurting him. you're hurting the business and emplyees and cities that need your money. -- nm - Remlik Jun 1, 18:26 18
- For me it's not a boycott. It's that your country has increasingly stated that your borders are hostile. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 1, 19:04 1
  - Now, that said, I've already visited for three weeks this year, and each entry was uneventful. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 1, 19:05
- But there are consequences. People vote when their lives, personally, get affected. If nothing - Andie Jun 1, 18:31 1
  - Look I get it. But the amount of money that you would give the Fed govt, wouldn't even come close to the money the local and state economies would get - Remlik Jun 1, 18:35
- Which is EXACTLY what makes a boycott effective. -- nm - TWuG Jun 1, 18:31 4
  - THe most popular destinations for foriegn tourists are areas that are heavily democratic (except Fl and southwest) -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 1, 18:42
  - except you missed the point. it won't effect him. at. all. It effects the majority of the people who didn't vote for him -- nm - Remlik Jun 1, 18:33 2
    - And all the people who didn't vote at all. A shit economy is the quickest way to get this asshole out of office. -- nm - TWuG Jun 1, 18:36 1
      - I'd like to think that, but I suspect the poor will vote for him again becuase he's a 'businessman' -- nm - Remlik Jun 1, 18:38
- and maybe they will realize to vote against him as a result... -- nm - Beaker Jun 1, 18:27 8
  - which the majority of the USA did. -- nm - Remlik Jun 1, 18:34 6
    - But not enough -- nm - Andie Jun 1, 18:34 5
      - So....punish the majority of people who didn't want him? It's the electral college that effed us. -- nm - Remlik Jun 1, 18:37 4
        
        It's the people that didn't vote that effed all of us. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 1, 19:24
        
        most votes doesn't always win. that's always been a factor in your system. - mafic Jun 1, 18:50
        
        It isn't really about punishing. I have l limited vacation dollars, I feel better not spending them there right now. - Andie Jun 1, 18:39 1
        
        i feel ya -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 1, 18:43
  - and we got in in Feb/March but now I am just really hesitate to tackle your border again. So, why bother when I can go elsewhere... -- nm - Beaker Jun 1, 18:33
okay, NOW I am pissed at Trump :( -- nm - ty97 Jun 1, 17:51
I'm starting to think I'll be turning down a free trip. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 1, 17:42
