Social media posts about PublicSquare have gone viral as Trump critics use it to find companies not to support – the opposite of what the site was set up for.
They choose the party where a creepy ass man with multiple crimes and convictions is their president, one that continues to dismantle American justice by directly locking up opposing judges, locked kids in cells, and directly threatening opposers.
They could have chosen anything – to support local community. To back unity. To defend disenfranchised people.
Instead, they chose MAGA and everything it has with it.
I don’t feel like that’s an “informed” decision. It’s a decision because they hate trump. There’s nothing wrong with that, vote with your wallet for any reason, but I just feel like people could do a lot of good in the world if they just did a bit more informing. Then they wouldn’t buy stuff from companies that try to fuck them over.
Shit like apple, samsung, nestle etc. wouldn’t exist today in that form if people would make more informed purchasing decisions.
Dude you are quite literally letting perfect be the enemy of good enough. You are getting pissy that folks are using a quick shorthand to figure out if a business isnt worth supporting, usually it takes far more effort to figure out how bad any individual business is cause most of them will fuck over their employees but are smart enough not to fuck over consumers. This stupid index is basically a big ol’ flag saying we are raging cunts who support a fascist, that makes it piss easy to figure out who to boycott.
Why give money to bad people when you could support good people? It’s a simple calculus. Remember it’s not that they just so happen to be conservative, these are people who opted in to advertise that they are bad people.
I love when people vote with their wallets.
However, I do wish that people would do it because of informed decision making instead out of spite.
It is an informed decision.

Holy shit I’m not getting pissy about anything I’m saying I WISH PEOPLE WOULD MAKE MORE INFORMED DECISIONS IN OTHER AREAS OF THEIR DAILY LIFE
If a business declares that it is in favor of crimes against humanity, fuck 'em.

Again, I’m not saying that what is happening here is bad. I’m saying that I wish the reasoning behind it would be different.
