Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

If only they would take Bill Penzey's advice and apologize for being cowards.

That whole "vote with your wallet" thing is really coming to bite these companies.

This is the only way they'll ever understand.

We will capitulate and stop supporting LGBT. ::almost everyone hates that::

Shit ok, we will also just fuck DEI TOO. ::almost everyone hates that::
shit shit, WHAT DO WE DO?

It’s almost like acting like a shitty ass company when we thought you were cool for a little bit, does indeed bite you in the ass when you fuck your users over and over again. So fuck you Target!

Good! Fuck Target and their shitty merchandise "selection". I've got an anti-DEI/MAGA-supporting boycott list as long as my arm and they're in the top next to Walmart and Amazon. After a few weeks, the one thing I realized is that you CAN do without these shitty retailers. I want to see their stocks drop like Tesla's.

In my area, the Target is across the street from a large strip mall with a TJ Maxx and a couple of other stores. A couple of pretty good dollar stores up the street. Pretty easy for folks not to shop there.

I got some bad news about TJ Maxx...

The customer is always right, especially when they're left.

I’m shocked that fucking minorities over didn’t work out for them. Blow in the political wind, get sucked into the political wood chipper. Get fucked, Target.

[–] ragingdachshund@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Still not enough. Maybe Walz can coach some sense into their corporate shitheads since they’re hq’d in his state.

70 cents of every dollar spend in the US comes from a Democrat. Boycotts work!
