“ Coca-Cola, Home Depot raise concern over Georgia bills that restrict voting”

[Grokmaster]

“Major companies based in Georgia such as Coca-Cola and Home Depot said they agreed with the Georgia Chamber of Commerce raising concern regarding legislation that would limit voting access”

“In statements, Coca-Cola and Home Depot said they were “aligned” with the Georgia business group.”

“Delta Air Lines, another major Georgia-based company, also offered a statement supporting voting rights.”

Telling when entities not exactly voter rights advocates express concern over attempts to make voting more difficult

SO THE FRAUDOCRATS ARE NOW BACK TO "BLACKS ARE TOO STUPID TO GET IDs"?

Is that what you believe? I am always amazed when rightys make such declarations and are so far from reality.

Believe? I could start keeping track here if you really want.

Yes, it says they are more concerned about political correctness and how it might affect their bottom line than anything else.

^Thread.

(When I give two shits what a soda pop company thinks about voting rights, I'll be as dumb as a Democrat.)

 

[no worries]

I sure hope they don't. My money is better spent on a local company anyway

That, I agree.

I try to do the same, if only they were open at 6 AM.

Some will take a real stand, just as they have on BLM. Coca Cola will take a stand for sure. The reality is that sometimes corporate power is beneficial to our side, properly used.

I agree, but IMO a threat to pull out of the state is the only thing that legislators understand. I'm not sure what else they can do to exert pressure?

Threaten to pull campaign financing? With voter suppression, funding isn't as important.

A lot of major corporations are declining to contribute to some Republicans and won’t donate to the RNC because they don’t support those Republicans who opposed the national election. 2022 is going to be interesting.

Ga Republicans are clearly relying on trump's funding. Short of a major pullout, these corporations are only trying to appease those who are angry about these voter suppression laws.

 

[T. A. Gardner]

Thinking about this, I suspect these corporations really don't have a dog in this fight and only made these statements to avoid potential problems with the cancel culture. That is, they don't want to risk their positions on the internet with cabals like Google or Facebook. That potentially could cost them millions in sales. So, they've made a public statement about a political thing they as a corporation don't give a shit about.

But if you are a major corporation and see that if you aren't toeing the PC line you could get downgraded on say Google where people aren't going to your sites as much to buy stuff, that would be a big problem. The result is you issue a statement affirming your position in line with Google even as you don't give a shit one way or the other. Path of least resistance on something that makes zero difference to you politically.

Business getting political...what could possibly go wrong?
