How did FB and Google know I was going to post on a thread about him two weeks ago?Because you are posting in a thread about him, while being tracked by google and facebook. not exactly tough to figure out

How can anyone vote for Ted Cruz?
I strongly agree. The sad fact is that this kind of illiberal reaction is effective.Kind of dumb to do the same thing many of them chide the left for; better to just say "Willy I love ya', but I wish you'd stay away from politics in public" or "I love ya' but disagree with you" if they are really fans that is.
I hate that every aspect of our lives has been polluted by politics.
If you dig an artist, WTF does it matter who he or she votes for?
Goddamn, put politics aside and just enjoy life a little for fuck sake.

Just say you think boycotts are weak and retarded if that's what you think. You're trying to hedge it and say why left wing boycotts are awesome and right wing boycotts are stupid. Are you for boycotts or not?
Tate and Lyle
Category: Human rights
Called by: Clean Sugar Campaign
Human rights campaigners in Asia are calling for a boycott of sugar company Tate & Lyle over land rights abuses in Cambodia. Activists say that sugar produced on land confiscated by the Cambodian government and handed over to plantation owners is being sold by Tate & Lyle in the UK, Europe and US.
Nokia Siemens
Category: Arms & Military Supply, Human Rights
Called by: Boycott Nokia Siemens
The company provided the Iranian regime with a "monitoring center" that enables security forces to tap cell phones, scramble text-messages, and interrupt calls. Nokia's new surveillance system has enhanced the regime's ability to crack down on dissent during recent protests. See the pledge page for information.
Ben & Jerry’s
Spoke against Trump's travel ban and supported the domestic terrorist group, Black Lives Matter
Celebrity Cruises
Created anti-Trump advertisement
or Hannity.Blue Apron
Pulled their advertising from Laura Ingraham's program because she dared criticize gun-control darling, David Hogg.
Volvo
Pulled their advertising from Sean Hannity's program
I still rank Paul Ryan worse than Cruz. Not t by much but still worse
Ted is the dictionary definition of a cuck, he's like a shriveled, limp penis of a human being. He just seems like a person with literally not a single conviction, someone who conforms to whatever set of constraints can keep him in power. A lot of politicians are like this but I can't come up with even one single hard line, one principle that Cruz would take that he can't be convinced to abandon in under 10 minutes
Huh? You just said only 5 of 49 were for that reason. The Laura Ingram ones were a response to the left wing boycott of sponsors because she dared criticize some random kid who wanted to be a political celebrity.There's a lot to digest in such a short post.
Why do right wingers like yourself have to always boil topics down to extremes one way or the other? No, not all boycotts are good. And no, not all boycotts are bad. Try to apply some critical thinking here.
Did you look at some of the reasons on the list you provided for boycotts, compared to the list I provided. If not, allow me to assist.
Here are a couple of the "progressive left wing cry baby" boycotts cited in one of your sources.
Compared to some of the Right Wing crybaby boycott reasons.
Yeah a human rights abuse is a good reason to boycott. Someone saying something about Trump is a snowflake reasaon to boycott. Were some of the progressive boycotts bitchy and petty, or too vague? Sure. But the overwhelming thing in common with all the right wing boycotts is based on someone saying something you disagree with.
So again, right wing boycotts are overwhelmingly whiny, petty and bitchy and based around personality cults of Trump or other right wing figures like Laura Ingraham:
or Hannity.
14 out of 49 right wing boycotts were based on pulling advertising from Laura Ingraham's show. Five out of 49 were simply because the company criticized Trump. How many "progressive" boycotts from your source were because the company criticized Obama?
Most of the Incels in the War Room boycott women.Do any Sherdoggers participate in boycotts of any kind?

The Trumptard boycott of Willie Nelson will be just as successful as the Trumptard boycott of Nike.
Nice save. The left has recently boycotted the 2 fast food chains with reputations for the absolute best employee treatment(chik-fil-a and in and out) in the entire industry just for not being democrats. Threatening to boycott sponsors if a show or host isn't taken off the air is a regular thing. They tried to boycott the entire state of NC over tranny bathroom problems ffs.
You wanna maybe provide a link for any of the ones you've listed? I don't recall any of those, and they didn't do any harm to any of those places, so it obviously wasn't any significant boycott.
