Have been for decades now…

Yes. Keep politics out of everyday living! People walk with their feet and have done so for centuries!

KOMO would make a post like this…

A company has the right to market their product however they choose. Just the same, customers have the right to NOT buy their product if they choose. Anheuser Busch made a moral decision, not a 'political or social' decision. The 99% have spoken up and moved on. That's freedom!

Yes

Yes

Yes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes

Yes.

If I don’t like the product I’m boycotting it already. And if I like the product I’m still going to buy it especially 🍺.

Can’t vote for some reason . But yes I boycott some

Definitely.

Target, Walmart, Hershey’s, Budweiser, Starbucks, Nike, Chevrolet, Netflix, Seattle, Portland, Hollywood unless not woke entertainers, Kona Longboard beer(ouch), any big Pharma crap. I take aspirin for pain and natural remedies as much as possible.

Stupid MAGA

Definitely

Yes

Depends on the issue

I stopped buying tide when they started advertising pride month. I’m not against LGBTQ but I am against companies advertising it. I don’t ask about others lives. I don’t need it thrown in my face either.

Yes every time. It’s my right.

Already did!

Yes I canceled my Disney plus because of them openly Grooming children! I will not eat M&M's, or pizza hut! Any time I see a company that pushes the woke agenda I stop giving them my money. However they are all pushing their satanic warship on us!

Yes

Absolutely!

Yep sure would!! Don't need to blast this shit everywhere. Let people live there life and stop forcing your beliefs on other people

I already am

The left does that all the time

I boycotted them years ago because it is shitty beer

Yes

Yes I am

Hell yeah

Isn't boycotting the position most Democrats, progressives and liberals take on companies they don't like Can you say BLM and the extortion that took place? Either pay BLM or they will smear or burn your building down.

✅ yes

Yes. Absolutely.

Hahaha that’s funny KOMO! Like you better stop going to Florida lol 😂

Why not, States of Washington and California do it with their so called no travel bans to certain states, makes perfect sense...lol

No but this was too extreme! I just wouldn’t have a transitioned female dressed like BreakfastAtTiffanys character as my target beer drinking customer.

Yes. But for racism or phobic mantras not for supporting people's rights.

Not really boycott but the Penzey’s Spices guy is a sick so I’d rather not send him money.

yep do all the time

I have in the past and will in the future and am right now.

Yep

Only if it was something I didn't agree with

If you have not been paying attention you will say no, people need to realize the time to be quite and keep our heads down is over. BoycottBudLight

ps, it's not boycott for consumers. We're voting with our feet & dollars. It's how capitalism used to work before it was destroyed by the global & political elites via the stock market.

Political and social does not = religious belief.

Imagine thinking a trans person’s right to exist in peace is “a political view”.

Yes

I don't shove my sexuality down anybody's throat. I don't appreciate they / them doing it to me. So of course I would. There's no heterosexual Pride day. Just let it be. Corporate America, government and the public education system has no business promoting sexuality.

Yes We do...

Hell no especially Beer we all do dumb shit after we get drunk

My issue with Anheuser-Busch is not that they put this transgender’s picture on a can. My issue is that they had numerous heroes and role models over many many many years (founded 1850s) that they could have honored on products, but didn’t. Why now? Why this person?

I try not to since there are so many to keep track of. But there is one I wouldn't step foot in.

done that

I vote as long as it's not rigged like the elections. Also, yes, this shit is wack. You know if you go woke you go broke. No one with a mind doesn't want this crap shoved down our throats. So just stop with all this BS, and get back to our roots!!

Depends on the matter and issues

Yes

I love all this drama because a beer company made one can to be used for one person's feed that lasted a min. Ugh talk about snowflakes

Lol no. It's just capitalism

If I like the product I would not boycott, it’s stupid to do that. I also believe companies need to stay in their lane, cater to all consumers without getting involved in politics or social issues.

Hell yes! That's why KOMO sucks!

Yes

I never did and I thought I never would. But then these companies INSERTED themselves into the political and social issues of the day. Now I make sure to support companies that STAY OUT of the fray, or agree with my position. Apparently this is what they want, so I'm on board.

I don't know but I won't ever buy Bud Light. I don't like the propaganda, I respect all the people and I don't care about their sexual preferences.

Absolutely and I do. If the business uses funds that extend beyond the premise of the business model to support some twisted non-evidenced based ideology then absolutely yes.

Yep

It’s weird that everyone crying over this has no problem with Kid Rock.

Yes

No but this world has gone fucking crazy!

Yes, it’s time to start hitting these companies where it hurts. Go woke go broke. We as a society need to start correcting ourselves and punishing those who want to destroy it with this agenda.

Isn't freedom of speech grand?

Been doing it all my life. Just bought Nike for the first time last month, shoes for my son's. They have already fallen apart. Never again. I also don't do Walmart.

No, because I’m not a fucking woke snowflake!

Absolutely, it's my hard earned money. I'll spend it how I want to. Companies spend million trying to increase their market share, however, they can also loose as A-B is finding out.

The democrats invented cancel culture and now the republicans are perfecting it. What a society we live in

No…. but minimizing women by pretending to be on…. absolutely

Yes. A company's main purpose is to provide a good or service. With all other things, they should shut the hell up.

I already have. I boycott shopping at Hobby Lobby because their board removed the availability of birth control to their female employees through insurance based on religion. It’s absurd

In a heartbeat!

Never did like piss brew! Thank You CoorsLight

Yes when it's immoral.

Literally EVERYONE does! Doesn't matter what political party you align with. If you've sent more than 5 tweets in your life. You've probably boycotted something. Some people boycott without having to announce it! 👏

I stopped buying any AnheuserBusch product last week. Prior to that, the only thing I had boycotted was Gillette razors and shaving cream, which I used to buy regularly until they ran that ad making fun of middle-class fathers and men.

Yes like not buy grapes because the workers were not treated fairly.

Yes

Yes- I vote with my dollars and don’t need companies, sports teams or even networks pushing their agenda or wholeness.

Already did

Nope

People of all persuasions do it all the time….

Yes, but it depends on the issue. I don't drink so this is a non-issue for me. But if I did drink Bud, I would try to find another brand.

Yes

No

Absolutely.

Only the groomers and child molesters

Yes

Boycott the government.

Absolutely

Yes

I would, and I do. Been boycotting FOX news now, since 2016. I'm sure they could care less, but I feel better.

Yep. I don't consider it a boycott. It's me putting my dollars where my values lie and removing them from places that openly mock my values. People who don't do that are doing themselves dirty. I encourage everyone, even those who don't share my values, to do the same.

Absolutely

Yes

Every other post from komo is about mental illnesses....now we are supposed to support it....man being woke is confusing just pick one, once and for all.

No. I don’t like Starbucks politics but I had one today. Luckily I hate beer.

With an HD TV antenna, corporate America doesn’t know what I watch and neither do their advertisers.

I do. Saves me a lot of money.

Yes

Already have.

yes

That thing is so disgusting looking. What is it?

I own an iPhone with metals dug by children and yet am staunchly adverse to exploiting children. We’re all hypocrites and this beer thing is stupid.

Yes!

Yes, I wouldn't spend money on a company that goes to far one way or the other. Companies should stay out of politics. If a company pushes an agenda, I'll go to a company that's doesn't. I'm a consumer and it's my choice.

Yes

If they try to force unnatural, abnormal behavior that has been the norm over thousands of years.....100 YES.

I boycott FOX

Yes. I won't be buying 'My Fascist Pillow' or Omaha (Mis)Steaks.

Maybe. Buy less/substitute goods, probably. Total boycott, probably not. Companies should be smart enough to stay out of most social issues (as it doesn't do their shareholders any favors) - even if they are chasing the perpetually 'outraged' and woke millennial/z customers.

Yes, I prefer to vote with my dollars. Either way someone is going to feel marginalized or left out or feel that their ideals are under “attack”. Neutrality allows for everyone to enjoy a product.

Yes I would. If a company was taking a racist, bigoted, exclusionary stance - I’ll find another company to work with.

Already have been for years. Who hasn’t?

Isn’t that a way of voting? Just sayin’

Yes and have...

As a conservative, no. They wanna be inclusive and run ad campaigns at specific targeted groups, let ‘em reach that market. If it’s not successful then so be it. That said, Dylan is a terrible example of the trans community and they could have picked a better person to highlight

Yes. If any brand tries to push trans politics onto me or my children, then it's over. We're fed up with it. It's one thing to have tolerance, it's another to be forced to listen, obey and conform. Screw the liberals.

Have and will. They boycott me I return the favor

Yes. I have in the past. Just depends on what the issue(s) are. Some products I still boycott to this day

I do it all the time.

Yes, of course. Who wouldn't do that at least a bit? For AnheuserBusch, I'm a gay man but I find Dylan's womanface skits so annoyingly narcissistic and pandering that I immediately switched from my weekend beer Corona (an A-B brand) to Trader Jose's Lager from TJ's. With a lime.

No

Yes. The shouldn't be involved in politics or social issues. They are selling a product, not ideology.☮️

USArmy ArmyContracting, USACEHQ ArmyMateriel lack integrity in contracts? Why is War of Conquest used on American citizens by its Army (Federal Government)? Why do project managers act like the FAR isnt part of the job? Why isnt the Government held to standards? FARPart3

No. I’m against chick-fil-a policy on lgbt+ but man their chicken is good.

Absolutely

No. If I like the product. Don’t care

Yes

I don't boycott, I'm done. Boycotting indicates you will eventually return. I won't. Will not give a dime to Anheuser Busch again.

Heck yeah have and will

Respect to for asking the questions no one else will 👏🏻

Also... they have been a bad stock since mid 2016.... LOL

Yup!

No, just like I don't believe in cancel culture. Everyone is entitled to their opinions no matter how unpopular they may be. And there is nothing wrong with trying to grow your marketshare by advertising to a new audience. People need to grow up!

Given a choice between Bud Light and Coors Light, I now find I have a to pick Coors as there isn't any politics behind my purchase, and if I picked a Bud Light, someone might think I am drinking it for a political reason. Hard pass.

I’ve banned GoverKOMO. I have better things to do then listen to KOMO telling me how wonderful my tax dollars are being spent…rather wasted

I already do that!!! I’ve said goodbye to many, many companies due to this very thing, and will continue to do so!

Don’t mix political ideology with business or entertainment. These are escapes for most people.

Yes, I haven't bought Ben & Jerry's for 4ish years

yes.. I have stopped buying Bud.. and am sure they will not miss my few measly dollars a week.. But I also hope they rethink the ' we want nothing special Tribes.

Boycotts are a liberal institution.

Whether or not people say yes or no, they make decisions with their wallet. Every. Single. Day.

Tried to vote. Link broken. Or you took it down because it was 99% yes.

Yup

Absolutely.

Depends how strongly I felt about the issue and if it was worth no longer having the product.

Yes absolutely!!

I'm doing it already.

yes! You disgrace our country, you choose to support people to mess w/kids, support drug abuse, crime, etc. Yes, I wont support you, help you but I will pray for you

Most of the time I wouldn't, but it might depend on the issue. Many people will & these companies should keep their political & social beliefs to themselves & just focus on THE PRODUCT THEY'RE HAWKING. They're doing themselves a disservice by getting into politics/social issues.

I specifically don’t give a fuck

Yes we must vote with our wallet it's the only thing they seem to pay attention to.

Yep. Also Wish we didn’t have to rely on everything from china

Curious if the “woke” crowd would be ok with Trump on front of bud light can?

Absolutely!

The brand and companies answered it for us when they decided to side on political and social issues without deep thought on how it impacts the larger society. They have always donated for political causes that benefit them. They only understand the language of money

This? Yes! This is not a woman. In no sense will he ever be. To make a mockery of us. Look at all the things' men have taken away from us in two years.

In a heartbeat. Money speaks louder than words or a bunch of people carrying signs and screaming.

Have, do and will.

Yep

Yup

Both sides are so hypocritical.

beer companies should produce beer and fuk off with political/social stances. do that on your own time

Yes.

Hell yes... Especially when their CEO is a CIA. Americans don't want that WOKE Crap....

Yes I will and have.

Absolutely.. and I do.

Yes

Yup. I'm not interested in a company's political stance.

Yes... and have been for decades. I also don't watch movies and TV when leading roles are played by members of the Cult of Scientology.

Yeah. That’s what we do? We don’t like it, we don’t participate

That’s how it’s done now, right?

88% vote yes, they would Boycott. In SEATTLE…………….. So why do companies and sports teams NOT remain neutral. This is not RocketScience

Sure. I haven’t watched KOMO/KIRO/KING/KCPQ for many years now.

Voting with our wallets is much more effective that voting, it seems.

As much as any leftists. Sure, why not?
