Are there any brands you pick or avoid because of their politics? Hobby Lobby, Amazon, etc?

I’m not obsessively political about my purchases, but I’m also not 100% amoral/apolitical. I’m curious if anyone really is.

No. My monetary spend to any one vendor is immaterial. Doesn’t move the needle. If you want change, laws and regulation are the only path.

But by the same reasoning your individual vote is also immaterial. Since you clearly wouldn't waste your time voting, how do you move the needle on laws and regulation?
