In the US, our democracy doesn't really respond to the whims of everyday people. Between the two party system, campaign financing, the electoral college, etc., voting doesn't really do a whole lot. So boycotts become an alternative avenue to change, or at least another place to vent frustration. It flip flops every few years though, like with the diversity and equity stuff that was so popular a few years ago and now getting shut down. The average person here has zero power to affect anything at all in Washington, so yelling at companies is all we can do lol. Wall St is somewhat more responsive than our elected officials. Kinda sad, but that's the country for ya.
