Boycotts against the other companies have been discussed. It was explained to me as wanting to make an example. Rather than spreading a boycott out over 149 companies, they wanted to pick one or two and dog-pile on them, so that the effects are more visible.
Fair enough but targeting elected officials, whose job it is to cast votes on all manner of controversial issues, not just this one, is a ridiculous expenditure of resources. Pointing the gun in the wrong direction here, let's focus on the companies who supported SOPA and let them feel the sting. It just feels like Reddit is drunk on their own power and have stopped thinking about what the point of all this was. Perhaps the point wasn't to diminish our system of representation in this way.
