So the comment about 'y'all seem to not like accepting what is inherently been in the progressive DNA from somewhere around 1967 to the present day' seems pretty much on point with that reluctance to even see what you (and I) seem to agree as to the proclivity of the progs to boycott vs the proclivity of conservatives to boycott.

If you also bother to notice --- the comment about 'not like accepting what is inherently been in the progressive DNA from somewhere around 1967 to the present day' was in response to Rice93 and not you.

I will take your word for it that Democrats have been historically more likely to organize a boycott during our lifetimes. In my world today, if somebody I know gets their panties in a wad over an issue and then decides to boycott a business over it, it is likely to be a right-winger. I have a lot more right-wingers than liberals in my family. Certainly some of you may have the opposite experience.

I felt the urge to respond because (not for the first time) the right wing contingent here have ascribed an attribute solely to "leftists" while ignoring that the pan is calling the kettle black.
