I think it is time to step up the boycotting.
We've seen it over and over again. Boycotting works. We shut down Apartheid in South Africa by divesting, which is a form of boycotting. Chick Fil-a's policies towards LGBTQ was changed from a boycott.
These people know NOTHING except money and power. That is ALL that matters to them.
It would be nice to get a million people in the streets in DC, or even a national strike. But the american people are busy working, putting food on the table. how many people are going to take time off work to go to a rally? And the rally would end and they would do nothing.
Enter the boycott. Something every single American can do from the comfort of their own home, without taking time off work, without jeopardizing anything.
My boycott idea would be, instead of watering it down and giving people a long list of companies to boycott, leaving them almost nowhere to shop, start at the top and do one at a time.
I would boycott two companies: The biggest advertiser on Fox and the biggest contributor to the republican party.
I'm not sure but I would guess that Geico is the biggest advertiser on Fox. Could you imagine if half of Geico's customers called up and cancelled their account?
Once they are taken down and are no longer the biggest advertiser on Fox, then we boycott whoever replaces them as the biggest advertiser on Fox.
If you hit them in the paycheck THEY WILL NOTICE and THEY WILL CARE. Until then, they will laugh at you.
If we start a huge national boycott system that is easy to follow and pointed at only one or two companies at a time and hits them hard for supporting Trump, they WILL NOTICE and it will have an affect.
Who's in?
REC this thread if you think it's time for a NATIONAL BOYCOTT of the biggest advertisers on Fox News and the biggest contributors to the republican party

3. It would cost them a lot more $$$ if we all bought an expensive car
and deliberately crashed it the first week. If was done hard enough to total it, Geico would end up paying tens of thousands of dollars out in each claim while only receiving a week or so of premiums.
Just need to plaster it with s bunch of anti Trump bumper stickers first

5. I'm in, with a twist.
Thank you. I have started new leaves and DU is one.
Your idea is good, but let us think about this and work smarter, not harder.
Garybeck, U R right, and this will be my first comment, so pardon me if I think we need to twist this a little smarter. Let all GIECO customers (me too) insist they stop advertising on Fox, ( if they are the largest contributors ). Then let GIECO decide if they want to avoid the crisis. LET THEM CHAMPION Truth, fairness and the American way! OR NOT AND LOOSE!
Thank you for listening

8. Seems there used to be an ActBlue or something list
Of companies that didn’t advertise on hate merchant shows
I remember it listed here years ago

9. I also note local FB community groups and see who supports the #TraitorGOP
And will refuse to use their services or recommend them to others

10. We need to hit the insurance companies hard.
Allstate, State Farm, Progressive, Geico... these are some of the biggest advertisers on TV period. Maybe if they got the hint, it would start a ripple effect.

16. The most important boycott would be Fox but that never seems to work.

23. I boycott traditional television entirely.
Television made Trump, they can eat him.
There's no cable, no satellite, no broadcast television in our house.
We watch DVDs and Netflix. Netflix is $8.99 a month.

More recycling of moronicity. And what exactly is the point? To punish Americans for daring to vote for Donald Trump? :rotf:
BTW, CfA did not cease donations to charities like the Salvation Army. They just changed their focus to charities local to CfA restaurants rather than national-level giving. So local Salvation Army posts could receives donations, as might other Evangelical or Catholic charities with similar foci.

Yeah that's the ticket dummies! Go buy a Mercedes SUV and run it into a wall. I hear they will give a loan to people with a FICO score of 10 now. :rotf:

GIECO? Maybe she did not know what the name stood for and instead sounded it out to spell it.

A lot of you DUmmies barely have two dimes to rub together let alone the money for a down payment. I suppose you could start a GoFundMe campaign...

But most primitives drive around without insurance anyway?

This DUmmie has the best idea of them all!! I wish they were financially capable of this. I’m guessing this guy has NO idea what gap insurance is and why it’s necessary. :rofl:

That exchange was hilarious.
-"Hey, we should buy expensive cars and smash them into walls so that they're totaled."
-"Nah, that would be fraud."
Say goodbye to Fox...
...by dying. :lol:

The last time (yesterday) I perused over there, there were 3 to 5 comments on each thread. The handful of you are going to take down all those powerful insurance and drug companies? :lmao: :rotf: By doing what, again? Not filling your prescription? Fine.

7. WELCOME.
your idea good. always give a person/company/entity a chance to change before you take action.
I would twist it a little more. Each time the target company is determined, first they are delivered a letter by registered mail to the CEO, explaining what we are doing and why. the letter is shared publicly. They are given a certain amount of time to pull their ads from Fox, or the boycott begins.
i like it. it's good marketing. also helps get the word out, with the letter.
:lmao:

27. Or, just shut down Wall Street. Divest.
Who in the hell do these people think they are?
Not one of them paused to think they may not have the power. Funny thread.

I’m going to look that up. What’s the symbol?
Here’s a stock tip for you; MTRX
I used to work for them. A couple years ago the stock dived like it did this week. I bought in at $8.65 and sold at $24.00. I’m buying in again Monday.

GILD... they're interesting because they took a ton of government research on AIDS and applied it to their product which sped up how quick it got to market and cut down initial development costs. Their commercials are a trainwreck of liberal constituents.... blacks that sleep with the whole neighborhood, a drag queen, and a bunch of San Fran fruits that have as much modesty as the drag queen and the village bicycle noted above combined. I'm a buy and hold investor so their newest stuff should keep things moving for the next few years. What does yours do?
ETA: ok, looked it up. Might be a good play since the industry is beaten so bad now. Really any american oil related stock is a good buy whenever a barrel of crude trades below 60. I'll take a look again monday and see where things shake out. Thanks for the tip!

Isn't this boycott-that-never-happens shtick something like an annual event? Why don't they just declare their own annual holiday, Failed Boycott Day?

Well for once the theme for the lefty's latest wet dream is absolutely accurate.
The cumulative effect of a national boycott staged by a mass of freeloading DUmmies would total NOT ONE DAMN DIME almost exactly.
