  • Awesome. Unfortunately the agreement was made "in perpetuity" so there's no obvious route to them leaving Nestle.

    That's part of why I actually email them, and in the first email I said that I'm bothering to send anything because I do really like their stuff, and I think their other charitible actions mean I can hope they'll take customer feedback. As opposed to Nestle which I expect to tell me to gfm.

    I've steadily leaned away from that belief as the company digs farther in to being every crappy anti-labor chain.

  • I started boycotting Starbucks when I learned they had partnered with Nestle for store-bought products - their Sumatra and Komodo Dragon coffees were pretty good.

    I send an email every year or so to let them know, since boycotts aren't effective if the group being boycotted doesn't know why, with predictably apathetic responses.

    Anyway, if you're a no-Nestle person then Starbucks is on the list...

  • But that's exactly the point the person you're replying to was making; Republicans are terrible for small businesses. So unless your friends are the Waltons, they're voting against themselves.

  • For the reverse, I used to live near a pizza shop that would frequently stay open several hours past their official closing time and it sure was a treat to walk by half drunk at 2 am to get a slice.

  • You don't vote in your least favored party to vote for who you want to lose. You vote for who in that party you genuinely want to win - so even if your favored party loses, the winning candidate is at least not a piece of shit. It's an ad hoc way to do ranked choice.

    This is why black voters in the south before the 60s frequently voted in the Democratic primaries despite the Republican party being less racist at the time; they could at least get an OK Democrat if they couldn't get a Republican.

    Everyone should be voting in the primaries of their least favored party until ranked choice voting can realistically happen.
