I'm a Californian and support the boycott. But the majority of comments in here are misguided.

This is like commenting on an article you haven't read about the First Minister of Scotland saying how negative Brexit is for Scotland, and responding "You shouldn't have voted Brexit then, dumbass!"

No shit. Probably why they didn't overwhelmingly.

Also kinda like how California has consistently, overwhelmingly, voted against Trump, and is one of the most oppositional states in the country against his fascist regime.

Canada’s boycott of U.S. wines ‘causing devastating harm,’

That's the point, dumbass.

If you want it to stop, talk to the clown in the white house.

This boycott wouldn't be happening if he didn't decide to threaten, insult and attack Canada.

false. the US administration is on record saying they don't need us.

do you doubt dear leader?

California senators don't get to tell me what to buy. Framing it as a "boycott" is just wrong, at least where I live. We have American booze on the shelves. I just don't want to buy American garbage anymore so I'm not doing it.

I avoid most US chains and import foods simply because they're junk, so I know what you mean, but that doesn't negate the boycott movement of people who were regularly buying US products.

Boycott - To abstain, either as an individual or a group, from using, buying, or dealing with someone or some organization as an expression of protest.

For me those last words, "as an expression of protest" are important. For me there's no protest and thus no boycott. The upset caused me to try Canadian products. I like them better.

No one should. Let Napa feel the pain for once.

[–] lemmy_outta_here@lemmy.world 10 points 14 hours ago

Oh no, the boycott we initiated with the explicit intention of causing DEVASTATING HARM is causing devastating harm. Fie on intended consequences!!!

I'm trying to use as few american products as I can. It is nit easy as they have infected everyday life too much.

Not buying Nestlé is much simpler

Same, and i live here lmao

Nestle is evil but Swiss

[–] betanumerus@lemmy.ca 3 points 15 hours ago

I won't be buying a hovercraft either, so let them say I'm "causing devastating harm" to the hovercraft industry.

Trump gained 2.2 billion dollars in wealth since taking office.

Him reading about this news from California is making his week so much brighter. You folks cheering - you should drop by the white house!

Lemmy continues to be so empty headed on certain topics... So eager for those rare wins that you're willing to snatch them from your allies.

It's very American, I must admit.

[–] blartcap_@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

What is your point? That Canada should accept Californian wines to stick it to Trump?

[–] reksas@sopuli.xyz 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

i think the point is y'all should go and do the romanov manover on the pissface

Allied intelligence realized that it would be far worse to kill Adolf Hitler and have him replaced with someone competent then allow him to continue fumbling things.

Good. Boycotts work. If any of you Americans out there are wondering how you can fight...boycotts work.

My neighbourhood grocery store and liquor store have both decided to stop stocking US goods.

I don't miss anything. As a Canadian, this is more important to me.
