I would loooove to see a comprehensive list of those businesses.
Yes, the website only lists Target, Home Depot and Amazon.
https://weaintbuyingit.com/
It might be a good idea to limit it to just a few of the biggest ones at first. It makes it less daunting and easier to remember, encouraging participation. And if any of these three companies detect a noticeable drop in sales, it will make the news.
There seems to be a watchlist ticker on their site:

There's also a green "buycott" list which is confusing.
OOTL: what did Aldi do for deserving a boycott?
Thanks for pointing that out, it does look like it's a list. An actual list would be good too.
If they posted the list, because I seen the list. My family would strave because all the grocery options we have 100% support Trump.
This site looks like it was designed by a marketing company. Who the hell wants to use a ticker to see brands?
I feel like this could just be a page on github
Github freaks out normies though.
It needs to be flashy and garish and gaudy like all the other marketing material they're exposed to every day, so it feels expected and "trustworthy."
That "ticker" is like the worst possible way to present that information though. What in the Macromedia Shockwave and Geocities is going on there lol.
What did Target do other than the DEI flip flop flip?
Sadly, i think that's their sin. The DEI capitulation. They used to be a democratic option to Walmart.
I heard Wal-Mart donated a million to a trans cause recently. Strategies, they have. Guess they will kill more competition and then go back to solely pandering to toothless patriots.
Hey, did you know your account is set to appear as a bot? You can change this in your account settings.
Edit: this matters because some users filter bot comments and posts
Uline
Fuck Uline. All my homies hate Uline.
For starters:
Chil-Fil-A
Hobby Lobby
Lol, going on my whole lifetime boycotting them both.
Chik-fil-a isn't good anyway.
Hear hear. Overrated homophobes.
Yeah, that's an easy one.
Here's a list of some corporations that donated money to tear down the Whitehouse and build his Donald J Trump pedophile ballroom.

It includes:
Hopefully nobody bought anything off Amazon this year.
Fuck. 60% success rate. Gotta get better.
Absolutely fuck no!
Goods Unite Us lets you search by company name
I don't trust their data.

I don't trust their data either. They don't list any sources. Who knows where they get their data from or it it's completely randomized.
There is an app called GoodsUniteUs that I refer to often. It shows businesses and senior officials political spending.

I really think the anti-Amazon sentiment is regarding their stance to be anti-union, more than their politics. They're a Seattle-based corporation, and Seattle is very blue, but i think they should allow workers right to unionize.
Amazon donated directly to destroy the Whitehouse and build Trump's pedo ballroom.
Best we can do is let you pee in bottles at work and perform dystopian surveillance on drivers.
That number includes the company pac, the employees, and the CEO people.
The employees are upwards of 90% donated to Democrats, and they donate more than the pac does, which skews the total way blue. I have no idea why the employee donations are attributed to the company in these things. Especially in such a large company, they absolutely do not represent Amazon when donating
