Bogus / flawed reasoning and having Amazon listed highlights missing the bigger picture. It's one of the world's largest marketplaces with thousands of resellers on there both left and right leaning to satisfy all customers. It also lets consumers donate half a percent of what they spend with Amazon to the charity of their choice, good pricing on some goods, and has the smallest ecological footprint of any seller by a significant margin due to their distribution direct business model (no useless middleman or retail shops who get their merchandise from a smaller warehouse that may even get their stuff from a regional distribution center).

Plus Amazon/Bezos owns the Washington Post and didn't not support Trump during the election. Bezos softened after the election as Trump doesn't like Amazon but is still most definitely left leaning:

Plus Amazon's AWS is one the largest cloud providers on the web and is only second to Google in use of renewables - they've surpassed 40% from renewables which is a great achievement given their size and the progress of the majority of the cloud industry: https://blog.google/topics/environment/100-percent-renewable-energy/

Front Range, dude...
The problem that I see with boycotting businesses that do business with Orange Foolious is that you are indirectly hurting him, yet directly hurting the folks who work for these companies. Fuck him, his businesses and anyone who works for them...but hurting the little guy isnt the answer imho...

One problem; organizing Liberals is about as easy as herding cats. While we may be quite the vocal lot, when it gets right down to it, the Republicans have a strong advantage over us as far as organizing into an effective element. And this isn't anything new either. Been that way as long as I've been paying attention to politics.

The election proved this when a significant number of Democrats either abstained or protest voted. The Republicans did what the always do and turned out in about the same numbers as previous elections.

However the enormous Women's March may indicate a change and allude to further mass organization.

Not giving up hope, just leery of promises.
