You don’t get businesses out of politics by shopping at businesses involved with politics.

Just trying to split the pie.
If you were a beer company looking for people more socially conservative, would it behoove you to be on Public Sq.?

That very notion is absurd. A business shouldn’t be limiting its custom to a particular ideological group. You yourself have argued that you wish companies would stay out of politics. Ok, I agree. That includes businesses “on my side”…

I think they need to stay out of politics, true.
But Dorothy, we sure ain't in Kansas, not anymore. If the Bud Light debacle has proven anything, it's that companies will listen to dwindling market share. Maybe the Public Sq guys are just helping grease the skids...

When my side starts encouraging the behavior encouraged by Bud Light and Target then we can say both sides are equal.
Until then, the message has to be delivered that this is wrong and we don't want it.
That's not politics, that is common decency.

Nothing wrong with a business targeting a demographic.

It seems like you might make more money going after groovy hep-cats with broadband.

They lost me at the pitch.
Join thousands of freedom-loving Americans
Fuck you. We're in this mess because of shit like that. The left wants to talk about their freedoms. The right says yeah but what about my freedoms.
Y'know what kind of freedom absolutely sucks? The kind we constantly talk about: unlimited, absolute freedoms that require no responsibility whatsoever. Scratch a freedom, find an abandoned responsibility. I'm tired of it.

Bro I already downloaded, why do you think I could complain so much already?
I can see it helping figure out who's who in the zoo, politically speaking. I agree with LD but we're waaaaay past that, Jerry. Very hard to find apolitical businesses, big or small.

Are the businesses on the app apolitical or “the right type of political”?

This. Business should be a DMZ. I don’t want to live in a world with red and blue companies.

You already do, to some extent. REI/Cabela's. Walmart/Target. Chik-Fil-A/McDonald's. And look at the Matt Walsh stuff. Everybody's virtue signaling.
Although I agree, and I think customers are more to blame than businesses.

Chik-Fil-A is different. Their marketing, sales etc really promote nothing other than...chicken. They support Christian causes, but you'd never know it by going into one of their restaurants.
There's a distinction to be made between "supporting" and "promoting."

When it comes to discussing whether red and blue companies exist, what's the difference? Customers have more say about this than businesses do. The red/blue isn't their doing, it's ours.
