And yet, Republicans are the ones who whine about “cancel culture”...

No one is cancelling Coke. But, they should be prepared to feel some pain if they take a stance in the political arena.

Well, it's not gonna go away until you start fighting back.

I don't really think of this as cancel culture. I think of cancel culture as ruining a person's life because of a belief or opinion that doesn't agree with yours.

Not buying from a company whose message you disagree with isn't really cancel culture. It's something that we have done since the existence of time. That's why marketing either works or fails.

100% correct. Republicans are always on their heels because they don't want "to look bad". It's time to stop giving a shit and take the fight back to them and make them defend for once.

Perfect example. Mike Lindell. The left literally tried to ruin his entire life because of his beliefs. Not just hurt his business, ruin his life. There is a huge difference.

Lindell’s blatant lies and drug habit did that well enough to begin with. The Democrats didn’t need to pile on.

And that’s what Coke did as well. A person can’t have it both ways. You can’t make vile statements and accusations and then play the victim when companies publicly disagree with your position.

Vile statements?

Like c-rock said, taking out some vending machines from a mega corporation isn't even close to what happens when individual people are targeted for harassment and having their careers and lives ruined because of some Twitter post they made years ago. Not even remotely close.

What blatant lies?

He’s spent the last 7 months lying about the election results. I generally disagree with Democrats on nearly every issue, but Biden won in a landslide.

Vile statements?

Yes. The law itself is vile and is nothing more than a way to disenfranchise minorities from voting. Maintaining the bullshit that an election was stolen and then manufacturing methods to restrict access to voting is wrong on nearly every level.

Look, I didn’t vote for him, but he trounced Trump. You can laugh all you want, but he was beaten like a fucking mule in both the popular vote and the electoral college. If Trump pummeled Hillary in 2016, then Biden did the same in 2020.

I'd like to see proof. Just saying it doesn't make it true. And, if you bring up voter ID, your credibility is immediately gone.

I support requiring an ID to vote. Making illegal to give out water is absurd.

Nice response. I see you have nothing to offer on that.

I don't care about water but how in the hell does that target minorities? Whites don't drink water?

It’s also about where voting boxes are reduced, reducing mail in voting, and districts where that’s being applied. It’s focused on districts with heavy minority representation.

That said, it boggles my mind that any minority would consider voting for Biden given his history of openly racist Senate bills.
