Is that what they did. What was the one day that they chose to quit buying bud light? Is that all they did? Just a one day boycott and then go back into silence and resuming drinking bud light? I remember it somewhat differently…
Comment on Friday is a boycot day of online retailers. I saw this from CPUSA.
Telorand@reddthat.com 2 months agoIt worked for Conservatives when they boycotted Target and whatever dumb beer company over support of Pride. We ridiculed them for it, and look where they are now.
I think it’s fair to say that there’s better ways to protest, but getting people off their asses in any way could be a gateway for some to realize that a little discomfort is worth the outcome.

Neither of those were one day bans.

But the two examples you mentioned were targeted and permanent. Conservatives were going to target to harass workers and vandalize displays. Kid Rock fired a rifle at cases of Bud Light. Conservatives get violent when they protest, and the loss in sales isn’t replaced by the communities they are courting, because both brands immediately gave in to the terrorist demands.

Exactly this. A one day boycott is strictly performative.
