CocaCola You are so full of $hit🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 after you paid your racist friends to suppress people's votes all of a sudden you have a problem with it. No integrity having donkeys! Pepsi is better and I don't even drink Soda.

Nothing wrong with showing an ID. Enough with the nonsense.

Take a vote . For the Voting law drink Pepsi. Against the voting law drink Coca-Cola.

What is James doing to correct this wrong? I put my cases of Coke back on the shelf today it hurt but it was necessary

Revisionist bullshit. Boycott them to bankruptcy

The same with Delta. After all the backlash and calls to boycott the airline, the CEO of delta “had a change of heart,” reversed course & denounced the voter suppression bill. Whadya know about that? 🤔

I'm done with Coke.

While it's nice that CocaCola decided to close the barn door after the horses had already escaped, unless they push Republicans to support the 'For The People Act' we should honor what the late John Belushi once said... NoCoke_Pepsi

Pandering and folding like a cheap tent. Last time I bought tickets to the CC museum....guess what? I HAD TO SHOW ID!😲 When you are LEGIT you don’t care about showing ID...

Now I will stop drinking coke. What a stupid

:)

If they are so opposed to the law then why do they bribe (oops I mean lobby) the legislatures who voted for the voting restrictions?

Ya, right.

BrianKemp just gave and some CEOs an education.

What does CocaCola feel about Delta requiring photo IDs to travel by plane? How does CocaCola feel about its POC delivery drivers having to get a state issued photo drivers license? DMVisRacist

Funny how a article about voter suppression doesn’t give any examples of it that is stated in the new law

It is funny how all of our corporate leaders in Georgia were silent until AFTER the law was passed and they saw consumer opinion from all over America. But as they say better late than never.

Seriously? That’s what they are going with? Good grief how out-of-touch with reality do you have to be as a brand to come up with this garbage? I give their team an F- on that one. Try again folks.

Key question: Did CocaCola offer testimony in opposition to the bill or have their lobbyists meet with legslative leadership noting such?

That interview was really hard to watch ! Why do think your viewers would want to watch SaraEisen attempt to impart her enlightened political opinions on the CEO of Coke. Seriously, I’m sick to my stomach after watching that.

sure...... lol Can't have that disrupt the bottom line. Jerk
