No one gives a rat's a$$.

We don't BurnLootMurder.

We boycott, generally, rather than demand people get fired.

Big difference.

Such a clever use of BLM!! Following your Dear Leader like a good little soldier!!

Back on topic, why is it an issue when Dems boycott products and not when Pubs do?

For the record, no one cares if you boycott Starbucks. I don't go there either. Their coffee sucks and their CEO is an ahole.

Yeah, pretty much.

On the surface, I have no issue with anyone choosing to withhold their money from any company, for whatever reason they wish. My issue is the underlying reasons for the boycotts. Conservatives boycott companies that support the continual tearing down of the pillars of this country. Liberals boycott companies that support the things that make this country strong.

Sounds like their coffee was too expensive for you. I doubt they’ll miss you.

They usually have nice clean restrooms and they let you use them even it you don't buy anything. And I really like the chocolate covered madeleines.

Wow! Now there's a gigantic leap in deduction. She said that their coffee was "overpriced". Pretty clear statement.



What do you do for an encore?

Starbucks. COSTCO. Both Seattle products. Time to abandon their money sources. Once this city decides to trample the subversives that took it over, maybe sympathetic customers will return.

You're lack of self awareness is astonishing.

What you call "tearing down of the pillars of this country" other call progress.

What others call clinging evils of the past you call "things that make this country strong"

Really it is the mix of these two forces that have lead US to be the country we are today.

If everyone thought like you in the 1700's we would still be park of the UK.

Companies are allowed to make their values known if they wish, and people are free to support or not support companies based on those values. It is the American way.
