Attempting to avoid donating to "radical" groups like the Trevor Project whose goal is, uh, LGBTQ people shouldn't feel the need to kill themselves.

The media is all corporate owned, and after Bernie got big they realized there was a real possibility in the coming years of a left leaning populist being elected. They did what all corporations do in that scenario, side with the Fascists.

Seems a good strategy when retail is dying: alienate an entire customer base.

Same, and unlike Conservatives that will boycott and later start buying from them, I'll cross off Best Buy and never go back.

Probably some catch-all bullshit like "fiduciary responsibility to shareholders" makes companies beholden (hostage) to groups like NCPPR. As long as shareholders can say they legitimately fear their money is being mismanaged and they might not get a return, the company has to comply.

That's my best guess, anyway, without knowing more.

Peck did, however, leave the Human Rights Campaign off this list, stating in his email that we understand that its unrealistic for Best Buy to leave HRC in the near future because of their political clout.



At Best Buy, we strongly believe in an inclusive work environment with a culture of belonging where everyone feels valued and has the opportunity to thrive. This commitment is evident through our longstanding and continuing support of organizations like HRC, which has recognized us as one of the best places to work for the LGBTQIA+ community for the past 18 years.

HRC once again providing cover

If you have part of your pre-tax income sent to different charities, I assume they can know where you are sending it.

Nothing says the party we should be backing like them advocating for the removal of human rights

This is some serious mustache twirling supervision stuff. Like we're at the part of the cartoon where the villains call themselves the league of evil and it's apparently too subtle for people still.
