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”…

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.

Amazon for old people.
How's that going to work?

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”?

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

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."

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

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.

There IS a difference between promoting and supporting… And in general, Chik-Fil-A does more supporting, but the playing Christian Contemporary Music in the stores does cross the line.

Tell that to the scads of liberals who refuse to go there and judge everyone who does. I appreciate that you see the difference as significant, but that has no influence over what customers consider a red vs blue business.
Please love yourself.

I was not aware of that. You're right.
Googling around, I see that supposedly, Hobby Lobby does the same thing.
Having only done DoorDash for CFA, I was ignorant of that.
EDIT: Apparently not all Chik-Fil-A's do that, and there are no lyrics. I found a playlist, and it sounds like bland elevator music to me.

@LuFins-Dad I wasn’t aware of that and for good reason. The one I eat at (every time I go to Duke) is part of a hospital food court, so no music.
