    “To be honest … I would be opposed to showing up on the current version of the platform—the right wing culture of the site is too polarizing from a brand suitability standpoint today,” the message read.

    This seems perfectly reasonable.

      If they are forced to advertise places, I’m going to sue them to advertise on my ass. I can provide metrics that show it has enough visitors to warrant at least a banner ad.

    Of Jewish people, Fuentes has also said: “We will make them die in the holy war.”

    Aren’t these the same people who complain about being called Nazis

      Isn’t Fuentes one of the few guys who embraces the label?

      Or do I just think that because he is one of those who doesn’t dog whistle and is just saying.Nazi stuff openly?

      Either way, that dude is super scary because he is not stupid, he knows exactly what games hes playing and he is better at it than for example Alex Jones.

      Fortunately he is still too crass for regular people.

    The last time I was in a Dunkin, there was a maga shithead explaining to a group of Brown people, why the tax policies of maga were good for them. I don’t know if his diatribe was welcome or if he had them trapped as hostages by being next to them. It was a bit surreal. Anyway, I welcome the knowledge that Dunkin won’t have the likes of him around anymore.

    The Bud Lite treatment: “boycott” for a few weeks and then go right back to buying their stuff. In fact I’d be surprised if they did that much in enough numbers to make even a wiggle in Dunkin’s bottom line for the quarter.

      I mean Bud Lite was significantly affected, but that’s mostly because the people boycotting it were the only ones buying it in the first place. I don’t think the right has a monopoly on Donuts and Coffee in the same fashion.

      Say it ain’t so! I know DD formally changed its business name and nobody cared much (most probably ignored it and kept calling them DD) but damn if they cut off the New England donut supply the pitchforks would have come out!

    Another f-ing right-wing weirdo, lovely. I haven’t been in a DD since I was 10 and we don’t have them here on the left coast AFAIK but if there was any kind of boycott by these freaks, hell I’d mail order a half dozen boxes (if they do MO) and share at the local food pantry. DD donuts are awesome, loved them as a New England kid.

      They’re a disappointment these days. Few varities, often sold out. Thry really want to move towards the crappy food Starbucks sells and figure out $7 coffee.

      I’d rather go to a local chain which has better variety and manages to have stock at 2PM.

        Also one open into the evening. Sometimes I want a coffee when I’m going somewhere after like 3 PM, but the only place open is Starbucks.

      DD donuts are awesome

      Noting with high sugar levels is awesome because diabetes is terrible, and is causing people to lose limbs.

      No, they’re not. The donut quality has gone to the toilet, both in terms of workmanship (they come in frozen and par-baked, I think) and materials (they taste plasticine). The coffee tastes like dishwater.

      Service is still quick and not terrible, and they’re everwhere, and reliable. But by no means are they awesome.

      (I still get a boston cream donut and medium regular after I’ve been away for a while. It’s just a sign of home for me, but that’s maybe twice a year at best.)

        Where I’m at, the service is slow and terrible in addition to the other points you’ve made. DD went downhill and then off a cliff.

        Agreed on this summary - however - DD’s cold brew is significantly better than the majority of chain spots. Hell, it’s even better/more consistent than a lot of small local shops in my area as well.

          That’s probably true. I think I’ve only had theirs once. Most places, it tastes sour for some reason.

          Personally I just make cold brew at home because it’s so easy.

    I remember seeing on Shitter the founder of Home Depot was supporting Trump and people were saying they wouldn’t shop there anymore.

    The snowflake Trump supports were upset people would do that because it was hurting the workers. I guess it only matters when it is their cause.

      Any argument they make is just what they think will have the most chance of getting others to agree with them. They didn’t give a fuck about the workers in either case just like BP didn’t really give a fuck about the retirees that depended on their survival.
