Politics Thread

[noteggs]

I remember a time when all the CEO's were staunch Republicans. Now the Republicans hate corporate America. Hahaha. Too funny.

Nah, they mainly just care about money. Companies are just trying to prevent a future boycott by the Democrats.

For some reason, Democrats love to boycott businesses that fail to agree with their ideology that all Republicans are racist. Unfortunately, identity politics is everywhere in this country.

True, I’m now hearing their cancelling Obama because he was the deporter in Chief.

What? Are you implying the Left didn’t boycott/cancel things before 2015?

What’s even more humorous is the party that created Jim Crow is now calling everything they don’t like Jim Crow or the goofy Jim Eagle.

Well, I know in what mid-2000s that Heinz pulled an ad showing two men kissing. NFL, NBA kneeling, to complain about cancel culture and linking it to boycotts to me is just stupid.

It's clear right now that one side is seeking to suppress election votes for mythical voting fraud. The reality is that your most powerful vote is with your wallet. If you don't like what a company does or stands for stop spending your money there and bring light to the issue. If you don't like it, this is the free market. It works for both the providers and consumers.

Why do you hate the free market? That is exactly what I told my mother-in-law when she flipped her lid over Dr. Suess.

I'm a bit confused...do you think cancel culture is stupid or not?

I agree that anyone is free to make their own decisions with their wallet...i mean, of course. I also believe that it is of course within my right to "boycott" a company or whatever because I personally don't agree with their thoughts on x, y, z.

The problem I have with today is the pitchfork cancel culture of I don't agree with x, y, z company or person so neither should anyone else so let's cancel them. That's not a free market if that is what you are implying.

Agree. Delta is grandstanding but I’m still going to fly with them. I don’t understand why they felt the need to get involved but whatever.

+1 completely agree.... again it is just as I said...republicans passed a bill.....aaaarggggh they’re racist, aaarrggh cancel them” probably none of them who are screaming racism or any other baloney have no clue what the bill actually said or did.
