Calling out companies based on donations from random employees?
Fucking idiotic.
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
Definitely won't put me off going to these places. In fact, it would be an honor.
I was like, "Yup, I'll not buy from all of those." Then I realized that all my local farmers are Trump supporters as well. So... Is there even a point? I don't know what I could do?
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.
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.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.
fake outrage generator most of the time and people just can't wait to get their licks inEvery time I see a thread with "Twitter" as the first word I immediately know there is going to be a few pages of people being upset and then the next few pages of posters figuring out that what was said was not 100% true.
Every. Fucking. Time.

That's not the point though. Boycott the companies, and they stop helping Trump. This helps cripple him.Is anyone shocked major companies are backing someone giving them huge tax breaks and shit like really? I don't think the companies are racist they just like the money they get to stash away
He's been known for a while and isn't really involved with the movies.

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).That's not the point though.

For real.
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.Anybody who says it's impossible to boycott so many companies has clearly never tried. I'm not even American and I'll boycott the shit out of any company trying to get that shitheel in the white house re-elected.

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.
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.Anybody who says it's impossible to boycott so many companies has clearly never tried.

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.
The 30 Fortune 500 companies that have thrown the most money at Republicans and Democrats in the last decade
These Fortune 500 companies' employees donated a ton of money to Republicans and Democrats over the past decade.www.google.com
Fair enough but still impossible.
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
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?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.
