Do you refuse to buy products made in certain states or refuse to travel to certain states because you dislike their politics or culture?

Not at all. We're all one country after all even if our states are varied. It is called the United States for a reason!

Yes I avoid Delaware at all costs. Everything about it just seems so offensive and attrocious. I can't think of a state that is more influentually opressive than Delaware. I actively boycott Delaware and encourage everyone else to do so as well if you know whats good for you. In fact I started a group to march on the Washington Mall next weekend, Stop Delaware!

I don't boycott products from any state. Life's too short for that sort of silliness. I think it's hypocritical to boycott products from certain states and then smugly point out their economic problems.

As far as boycotting states go, I'm a liberal who has never been to any of the states that are currently considered "red".

I'm actually thinking of fixing that lack of life experience by doing some sort of "red state tour".

Of course not, but I do try to buy food that's produced in my area when possible. But that's nothing against other states.

Wish it was still that way.
Like back in the 1980s with Ronald Reagen and The Reagen Democrats.
People wonder why Washington is so dysfunctional. the reason is the voters are to stupid to remove incumbents. voters should be held just as responsible as the politicians cause no dip we ELECT these idiots into office.
as Washington said there shouldnt be political parties. it undermines the United part of the United States
Damn i wish our founding fathers were here right now to see this.
