I’m looking forward to seeing how the MAGA Wal Mart boycott plays out.
I’m sure General Dollar will rise to the challenge and once again stand with the troops.
I hope both Twitter and Wal Mart fail.
What in the world would ever make you think Walmart would “fail”?
I mean to be fair they only said they hope.
Apply the same critique to anything someone hopes.
I hope Santa brings me a bike this year!
I hope my cancer goes into remission.
I hope I get to see them in heaven someday.
The presence of hope doesn’t necessarily mean the person believes their statement is going to happen though. On the tangent of Walmart, I hope Amazon Fails too :).
No I’m just saying it’s a funny thing to say to someone saying “I hope” I think hope’s just an unrealistic distraction, but I also hope big box stores get collapsed.
Probably one where Amazon overtakes them.
Nah, America’s gonna wake up and overthrow our oppressors any day now.
Surely before they destroy the environment beyond hope of redemption.
This made me lol but it is something I fantasize about
0% chance of happening. Amazon is on the downturn, Walmart is not.
Why would you want the grocery store with the best deals and largest presence outside of major cities to fail?
Because, while they do provide low prices to consumers. They are absolutely evil to their employees. And source inventory from extremely evil companies (i e. Slave and child labor)…
What about Target, Whole Foods, Kroger, etc? Are they exempt from what you’re accusing Walmart of?
They pulled ads back in October, according to their statement in the article, so it seems to me like this is more a sign of how big companies are no longer seeing X as being worth the money to advertise there.
And it has literally nothing to do with ethics and is profit driven. The entire point of advertising is to make money.
And the fact that they did this in October and no one noticed until now says they made the right choice. They weren’t getting enough eyes on their ads anymore and quietly dropped them.
I bet a lot of the companies that dropped advertising on X were already planning to do so before Elon opened his big mouth.
Is this like the opposite of “go woke go broke”? It sure seems like you lose more money being a hate monger as a public company, or maybe that’s just Musk?
Red states are the poorest. “Get woke go broke” was always bullshit.
I hope MAGAs try to cancel WalMart next…
They’re going to run out of options
Has there been any analysis on what impact Musk’s clear attempt to sabotage Twitter has on electorate engagement in elections?
Because here’s my thought: X is becoming a right-wing extremist echo-chamber. A safe space for bigotry. So while reasonable eyes leave, the mold festers largely unchecked.
So going to past elections, was Twitter a greater driver for turning out Democratic voters, or Republican ones? I am genuinely curious.
I feel like that’s what’s happened with school boards and other such. The reasonable people who used to be in charge were badgered until they gave up in disgust and now all the fuckfaces took over.
Except in the last local elections most of that was undone because the voters are starting to listen. I just hope we aren’t to late. We did well in 2018, 2020, and 2022 2023 if you look at the histories of such things.
I do feel we are really trying hard to keep our democracy but at this point in time I feel one bad midterm or presidential election will be our downfall.

That’s basically where we are though. We let it get so bad that now if we take our eyes off the ball they’ll end up destroying democracy. Thank God we’re finally pushing back, but we really should have done this stuff a couple decades ago.
The exact same strategy has been and continues to be at play with election officials at every level of government. So many election workers have been harassed so much that especially in lieu of the pay and lack of security they don’t consider it worth it. So then naturally the nazis fill these spots.
