Ben & Jerry's - Civics popcorn time: Progressivism backfires once again

[UCFBS]

I love the "Do Your Job" and "No Such Things as Conscious Objector" and "You Cannot Discriminate" and other things from Progressives.

Because ... tada ... here's what we have now!

US states’ fully baked anti-BDS laws could put the freeze on Ben & Jerry’s

Legislation doesn't differentiate between Israel and settlements, and states could now be forced to pull contracts, along with pension funds invested in parent company Unilever

Oh, and it gets better! A board member wanted to boycott all of Israel, showcasing the real agenda.

Ben & Jerry's board wanted to boycott all of Israel

A board member for Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream stated that Unilever had overstepped its authority by pledging to remain in Israel.

Frankly, as a classic neo-liberal ... I think businesses should be able to do what they want, politically.

Otherwise, as Gary Johnson pointed out, we reach the hypocrisy of forcing people to make Nazi Cakes at the same time we're outlawing Judeo-Christian Scripture on them.

Boycotts and counter-boycotts... how would you like to wake up one day and find out your entire franchise has had its licensed yank because of your nationality?

One business decided to do something and then shareholders decided to not support the business. Why is this news?

Because the republicans have nothing else

Because the republicans have nothing else

Actually, it's federal law. And why?

The Squad started pushing BDS legislation.
So the US Congress (not just Republicans) passed anti-BDS legislation to match Germany and the laws of other countries.
This is the result.

The Squad is the problem, just like Trump was problem.
When the left stops them, this will also go away.

Nope.

So you don't care about the US law or even small business owners?

Again, if The Squad would not have pushed BDS on the US Congress, the Republicans and Democrats would have passed it. The left is just as involved in this.

My view is that government needs to stay the heck out of this. But people like yourself blame Republicans for what Democrats not only also support, but initiated!

This is everything wrong with the US Congress today.
