Ben and Jerry's is the definition of a successful small business making it huge. I thought conservatives love small businesses?


Small successful business that got bought out by a company worth over $150B and then made it huge.


Yeah, every small businesses dream

There's a difference between "bought out by a conglomorate" and "small town store that sells things and can afford to have a personal touch."

Just as a point of fact: I usually get better customer service from small companies vs large ones.

People want to identify as whatever makes them happy. Ben and Jerry's made a flavor supporting that idea and conservatives are pissed as hell. Which party is the bad one again?


Well thats a spin if Ive ever seen one lol.

But I agree everyone should just love everyone and not be bent over some ice cream marketing.

Maybe PR is more important in the long term than short term tax breaks by a guy who's two steps away from impeachment?

Maybe money isn't the primary motivator for all business decisions?

Maybe It's fucking hilarious to the rest of us that people are getting upset over it?

PR is a constant running game because memory is short. Good PR is ALWAYS a short term affair. If it wasn't, you'd still be seeing GM, Chrysler, and Ford airing ads about everything they made to support the war effort in the 40s.

The left has been saying this since the day Trump took office. It's hilarious that anyone can seriously still believe it.

That would sort of be the point for having a business, making money. I know you probably aren't that good at economics, but that concept is so simple a child could grasp it.

I'm not upset over a brand of ice cream I find over priced and therefore don't buy deciding to virtue signal to leftists in a lame PR attempt.

Thank god I hate politics lol. I dont care about the stance of a company. I still buy Yeezys even though Kanye is a complete political nut job, and I am still going to eat B&J because their products taste great, and the actual flavor of that specific ice cream sounds awesome. It is just ice cream guys.

I could see that if the company didn't already have a history of being fanatic leftists. Like, if this was something out of the blue to gain attention and the owners aren't previously known for being loony, then sure, it's a marketing tactic.

Just another laughably embarrassing release for them. I'm sure you don't mind, though. Go and Resist right a long with 'em

I doubt they'll suffer much. Ben and Jerry's locations tend to be in politically blue urban centers and college towns. And aside from the stores, it's not like that many people are going to care, assuming they're aware of this news.
