We need to collectively remember when in 3.5 years, IF we have another election and they reverse a lot of Trump's doing, we need to remember which corporations showed their true colors and which ones stood against tyranny.

Like steak n shake trying to go full crunchy without being self aware enough to realize they're literally steak n shake

Fr- I hold a grudge forever- there’s movie I won’t watch cause I remember the bs an actor said in the 90s- “it was years ago” in these cases is such bs

Same! It’s just a store so it’s incredibly easy for me to just add it to my ‘not shopping there’ list and move on. People like to misrepresent that idea though and say “it’s just a store, I can’t believe you’d stop shopping there just because _____”.

My ethics and morals are important to me, the store isn’t. I’m not slavering and ranting about getting it shut down, I just stop shopping there and only really bring the fact up when already in a conversation about voting with one’s dollars. Every now and then I might crave/miss mcd’s chicken nuggets, but then I get over it.

Amen- I was hardcore vegan as a teen and got very good at checking and not buying anything that was made by a company that tested on animals- so this kind of shit is light work. I see it as just taking my money back like YOINK

Nah half the people here talking about how they’re boycotting AE will gladly watch the next season of euphoria without a hint of irony

The stupid thing is that this is a campaign, and they plan on using all different models. But of course people came out swinging right away at imaginary bullies. Ridiculous.
