I mean company backs pro-company party isn't exactly surprising. You want to not shop at every company that supports Republicans? You're going to have a hard time finding anywhere to shop in most of the US. Gotta stick to smaller companies, and if you get small enough you'll get to mom and pop locations where personal votes are the comparison and they've voted Republican their entire lives.

there's an entire continuum of political support, and you can choose to draw a line anywhere on it. I think it's perfectly reasonable to draw that line at outright public endorsement, particularly now with Trump in office.
