Putting aside that boycotting doesn’t work and actually has the opposite effect.
Coca-cola
Name a single boycott that ever managed to take down an international corporation that didn't end up making them more famous then they where before that. Being "boycotted" is even a marketing tool companies like nike have used before.
Did you think this through or did you just want to be contrarian for no actual reason?
The goal isn't "taking down" a company. It's to influence their behavior/policies.
ChikFilA stopped donating to anti-gay charities when they were boycotted.
I feel like now they're going to say because rightwingers attempted to boycott after that change, that boycotts don't work...
Because they don't understand rightwing extremists are bad at boycotting and statistically insignificant to a nationwide chain.
