You should be every day voting with your wallet to prevent money flowing into the wrong hands. Boycott these ALEC members who non-stop fund the republican war chests:
- FedEx
- UPS
- Motorola
- Anheuser Busch
- American Express
- Bose
- Chevron
- Marlboro
- Sony
- Texaco
- Boeing (fly on Airbus instead, see how to boycott Boeing)
Quit driving. It’s not just the fuel burn that harms the environment. When you buy fuel, you fund the oil companies who fund republicans. Trump’s 4th biggest cash source came from oil giants. There is nothing worse for the environment than republicans.
Find out which companies funded Trump’s war chest directly, and boycott them.

There is likely a long list of banks. Banks love republicans in general. We need to get that list and get people off those banks. People should be using cash anyway since banks finance fossil fuels, private prisons, and republicans. In the very least, if you give a shit and you are not a deadbeat then you will avoid using these banks.
(edit) Home Depot, Disney, …, probably others. That’s a long article not an easy list so work required.
grab your wallet is an election cycle out of date, and sadly it’s in Google docs (so use Tor). But it still has a bit of relevance.
Europeans— You can take these actions too. You couldn’t vote for Kamala but you always have the power to vote with your feet. The first ALEC list is international entities.
US folks— In addition to the ALEC list at the top, the following are also ALEC members which (I believe) are US-only:
- CenturyLink
- Charter Communications
- Farmers/Foremost
- Geico
- LMG (Liberty Mutual/Safeco)
- Nationwide Insurance
- PNC bank
- StateFarm
- TimeWarner
(update) Dug up a list of companies that are said to finance AIPAC, a PAC who targets democrats who go against Israel. It blows a huge amount of money on the right-wing candidate which apparently works every time. It’s so effective there is a verb for it: AIPAC-ed. I have not vetted the list but when I look at it it’s all usual suspects of corps I already boycott.

If your premise is that both POTUS candidates are equally bad (nonsense¹, but I’ll play along for a second), then your most foolish move is to give one of them the POTUS and also give that same party both branches of Congress.
The thread title should have made it clear that the actions herein are for climate activists who intend to support the democratic party. So what are you doing here? Giving anti-action advice counters the purpose of the thread. If you oppose Kamala then there is no problem here for you to solve. Your feedback could only be useful in a place like Gab.
¹ It’s utter nonsense in the very least because you think a POTUS is just one person, not an entire administration. It’s also an absurdity to claim any two people are equal on the environment when one of them is a climate denier and the other is not. It’s a fundamentally rock stupid claim at its core, particularly when the climate denier demonstrated a neutering of the EPA his first term in office.
And beyond that it’s a failure to understand that a large number of people are inherently in play. Incompetence can only explain the idea that the republican party and democratic party are equals on anything but most particularly environnmental policy.
Whoosh.
Not at all. I shouldn't have expected the sarcasm to cary. Perhaps I'm jealous of the shield of those folks' pessimism (assuming any of it was said in good faith in the first place).
Edit: I will admit it wasn't a productive contribution to the conversation. Seeing the title call it a disaster got my temper after mostly seeing so many conversations on this instance about how none of it matters and we're all monsters for sullying ourselves trying to mitigate the damage with a vote. I might have also mixed you up for the mod of that community.
