Have liberal protests of businesses ever worked?

If anything this will just reduce the number of vegan products and micro condoms in their stores

No. Conservative protests of businesses don't work either. Too many people aren't that bored.

Lol. Publix is as busy as ever.

The one on Michigan and Orange in Orlando is crazy busy all the time.

I'm sure Winn Dixie and Aldi will welcome her.

I wish I was rich and famous, just so I could tell the cancel culture to "frick off, suck my dick!" I say it now, but nobody listens.

My shopping experience at Publix in Navarre last night say that this is fake news. It was packed even more than usual.

Good for them. More people should vote with their pocket books.

So that article goes on and on about how it can be dangerous for companies to donate to certain candidates or show any type of political preference. Then at the end it includes this...

quote:

“It’s also partly why there was such a rush immediately after 6 January for many of these companies to say, ‘We are not donating to individuals in Congress who voted to overturn the election result, we’re just not going to do it’.”

Meanwhile House Managers created fake evidence, presented it in the Impeachment proceedings, then weren't dignified enough to be ashamed when they were called out on it and had to remove it. We've seen barely a nod of this from the media.

Funny how faux Russian collusion is enough of a story to be considered important enough to believe any rumor supporting it to come along but when members of our government blatantly and publicly lie in an attempt to prosecute someone, that same media pretty much ignores it.

But now the decades-long love affair is over. After a member of Publix’s founding family donated $300,000 to the Donald Trump rally that preceded January’s deadly Capitol riots, Mize is pulling out of what she says has become “an abusive, dysfunctional relationship”


You want to know the sad thing about this? Way too many people have this mentality. Rational human beings would be completely okay with someone donating a chunk of their own money to a political campaign. Many of them would have no idea that this even happened. But we don't live in rational times anymore. We live in an age where the inmates are running the asylum. All we can do now is get on our knees and pray that it doesn't go too far off the rails before some level of sanity returns to our public discourse.

This is absolutely newsworthy.

Cancer culture is the most important thing going on in the world right now. The left is attacking those who disagree with them. They are attacking the foremost causing the rest to pull back so they are not targeting. This is causing a movement, that could become a stampede, away from center right positions.

Those, like you, who think this is not newsworthy, are unfamiliar with history and are doomed to be victimized by it. The chores of democracy are mundane, but we ignore them at peril to our freedom.

Three years ago, in the aftermath of the high school shooting in Parkland, Florida, that killed 17, Publix temporarily halted political donations after an outcry over its bankrolling of Adam Putnam, a self-confessed “proud National Rifle Association sellout”, for state governor.

Parkland survivors, led by the activist David Hogg, and their supporters staged “die-ins” at Publix supermarkets in several locations, protesting the company’s donation of $670,000, through its political action committee, to Putnam’s campaign. Putnam, as Florida’s commissioner of agriculture, had strongly opposed stricter gun laws following the shooting.


Just because of David Hogg, I want to drive from St Gabriel, LA to Destin, FL just to buy something from Publix lol
