Twitter is exposing all the companies/execs/workers which support conservative politicians. (Taco Bell, In N Out, KFC, Coachella, Equinox, and more)

Eh the current title doesn't tell the whole story either. These companies have PACs and foundations they use to funnel money to politics directly and indirectly, no? It's not just individuals privately donating like the new title says
Individuals donating to a politician isn't enough reason for me to boycott anything, sorry. There are shitty people working at basically every large corporation in America, and it would be impossible to boycott everything remotely tied in with things I don't like.
Now if the company as a whole supports shitty practices (or shows a repeated trend of doing shitty things) or favors supporting just the GOP instead of donating to both parties like many companies do, that would be enough.

I am not usually for these sorts of things but contributing to get Trump reelected in the year of our lord 2019 is really fucking insane after all we have gone through the last 3 years, all aboard this fucking train.

dang what a bad poster
I can easily cut any of those out of my life as I don't eat fast food often aside from the Wendy's dollar menu. Goodbye Frosties. Also, I only read Image, Dark Horse and sometimes Boom! so get fucked Marvel.
These companies are going to be hurting hard in profits once this is all revealed to the public, including Chick-Fil-A.
Don't know if Hardee's counts, as they're the Carl's Jr. here on the east coast.

Disney's largest individual stakeholder is now Murdoch so... shrugs
If anything, it means less people ahead of me in line when I want something to eat. So I'm all for more people barely skimming a few lines of the OP and the original tweets and deciding to boycott all of those places. We on the left are just as free as the right is to operate off of misinformation and incorrect conclusions/assumptions.

Home Depot should definitely be on this list. The CEO and founders are avid Trump supporters. So get your lumber somewhere else.
Lolno, people been in the fuck Chick-Fil-A train for literally years now but they are more popular and expanding faster than ever. These corporate boycotts don't really work, they just make folks feel better about themselves. My stance, focus your activism on causes and actions that actually matter and make a real difference.
fake outrage generator most of the time and people just can't wait to get their licks in
All of this stuff was revealed to the public the first time Trump ran for presidency. This isn't new info, and it won't hurt them all that much
That's not the point though. Boycott the companies, and they stop helping Trump. This helps cripple him.
He's been known for a while and isn't really involved with the movies.
Well, this makes me happy I never eat in fast food chains. Americans and their love of fast food is honestly worrying. Go eat something that tastes good at long last, idk, at least you won't be funding Alt-right people doing so. Does it show that I'm French? Maybe so.
Doesn't mean he doesn't benefit from them. Which would be the pinnacle of hypocrisy. Financially benefiting from movies trying to be vaguely progressive and being applauded for being vaguely progressive by progressive people, all the while being alt-right himself.

I'm pretty sure that wouldn't happen. These people still have millions if not billions and will support the conservatives assuming a boycott even hurts them at all(see the Chick Fil-A example being brought up).
Y'all crazy with these corporate boycotts.
Vast majority of rural America supports Trump.
Let's say you boycott any restaurant that has ever supported him in a shape or form. This will likely force you to eat a home.
Shop at grocery stores? Owners may have supported him. How about local farmers to skip the store. Likely the same.
I guess you will just starve.

So we are at the point of cancelling companies who have workers who donated to Trump. What will you do if someone in the company you work for donated to Trump? Not an exec, Jane from accounting down the hall. Chick-fil-A, the hate filled demagogue of this board donated only 400 dollars less to Bernie Sanders than it did to Trump
And has been said most of these are franchises. All you are doing is hurting local business owners that more likely than not support the same things you do since most of this board does not live in rural America

I went from 2013 to 2019 without spending any money at McDonald's. I think if I REALLY wanted to I could cut out everything on the OP's twitter list.
Also I'm fat as fuck so if I can do it the rest of ya'll can too. I'm going to do what little I can by not giving my hard earned money to people that want me and my family dead.
Again, this thread and this app and the tweet in the OP dangerously misrepresent what these reports actually say and do.
The SEC, the Security and Exchange Commission, tracks political contributions and one of the stats it tracks is the contributor's place of employment.
These contributions do not necessarily reflect the values or beliefs of the entire organization. These contributions are also typically small.

And inversely anyone who says it's possible has also clearly never tried. It is literally impossible as almost every company has donated to conservative interests and candidates. To be fair most companies donate to both sides in various percentages because they're trying to ride the lines and placate everyone to serve their best interests.
If you actually tried, you wouldn't be able to use a computer, phone, airplane, car, eat, etc. Try not using GE, or Johnson and Johnson products..what about banks? All of them donate to conservatives. The list is endless and it's physically impossible.

Again, these are individual contributions.
Can someone provide the opposite, a list of companies that dont support the GOP? Would be a lot easier to boycott the bad if we have clear alternatives
i could easily say i'm gonna boycott the companies in the op tweet but that would be cheating since i don't buy stuff from them. carls jr is the only one i can say i've bought stuff from but i only ever eat there maybe once every two months. i can easily dump them.
Fair enough but still impossible.
That doesn't even take into account the products they sell. Target may be "ok" in that they mostly donated Democrat but every product they sell would need to be vetted as well
That likely doesn't exist. Corporate PACs donate to a variety of people and causes and, again, the SEC tracks individual contributions. I would not waste any time with trying to find a company that exists that did not hire a single Republican.
Understood, this is why I feel a list of those who just support Democrats would be much more helpful. So many of these companies donate everywhere, just to cover their bases. There are some explicitly right-wing companies I avoid (Arbys, Chikfila, Hobby Lobby, In n Out), I assume there must be some explicitly left as well?
Makes sense. If there were taco trucks on every street corner like Hilary was going to do, that would be bad for their business.
Waffle House wtf you were built on the backs of black people! Well, I guess America was too so this is kinda par the course. Still disappointed
