Anything the left boycotts doesnt seem to work. Chick-fil-a, NRA memberships and gun sales all went up. It like they werent even buying in the first place and the added exposure brought in more customers.

Like Change.org petitions, boycotts just provide an outlet for outrage

Chick fil a boycott was super effective and the company disengaged from like 90% of the vile stuff they were into. Like the owner guy is still poo poo I’m sure but they totally pulled out all their donations and company support of the homophobia stuff the owner had been pushing. Now the only “bad” donations they make is stuff that is ultra blandly Christian that everyone donates, like the Salvation Army. (That is very problematic but is just a normal thing people donate to apolitically at Christmas)

They released a statement saying they werent funding opposition to same sex marriage. Then they made a private org to funnel money into so that the company wasnt directly funding it. Their sales went up and the customers who boycotted were not missed. The boycott didnt work and the owners are even richer than before. People want tasty food and the politics doesnt factor into the decision for a lot people

It was not effective but the people who got mad need to think it was so it was in their minds
