Account cancelled a couple days ago. Heck, why don't they express support ISIS and Hamas while they are at it?

Honestly, if we all boycotted every media outlet, tech firm, and actor/actress that supported liberal ideals, none of us would have much to watch or listen to to pass the time.

It's just a sign of the times. In response, make your vote known at the polls this November.

Why does everyone boycott **** all the time for the smallest of things? Like, is everyone mentally 7? Jesus. I disagree with Chic-Fil-A donating to those weird Christian family organizations, but I'm not boycotting them or encouraging one. Granted, I don't eat their a lot because it's fast food and I recommend avoiding fast food when possible. But I've eat there before and it's alright. Tastes better than most fast food but I don't think it's actually any better.

But serioulsy, stop boycotting for dumbass reasons. People used to boycott when a company did something seriously effed up. It took more than a disagreement on a relatively small issue to entice boycotts. Given that Pandora's actions were barely controversial (it's a tweet people; it means nothing), the boycott seems like an overreaction from incredibly stupid people.

Whew, for a minute I thought you were talking about the jewelry company - I thought maybe they had made a BLM charm and that I was going to have to boycott them.

I don't listen to Pandora - I listen mostly to Amazon playlists or my own playlists.

Actually, it might bring family time back in style. Getting more things done might no longer be a excuse for having no time.
