Title: Walmart pulls "impeach 45" clothing after backlash
Post by: Tennisballz on July 03, 2018, 06:07:36 PM
Once again, I hate the left....but....a company has the right to do what it chooses.  People can either choose to shop there or not.  Free market should dictate whether walmart survives or fails.  You can't please everyone in life and I would rather a company come out and be honest about what they believe.  Then I can choose to support the company or not.

Why pretend to be above the fray, then conclude with you can either choose to support the company or not if they do something you don't like? They pulled a product from a third-party vendor because people reacted negatively. How is that not free-market?

Do you think walmart made the right choice?  I thought free market would be more along the lines of a dip in sales numbers and not a twitter backlash.  I guess in today's online world a twitter backlash can indicate a coming storm.  I don't shop regularly at walmart myself, only been there a few times.

Free market includes boycotts. According to the article you posted, the clothing was only available on their online marketplace, which is 3rd party vendors. Did they make the right choice? I'm anti-trump, but why would a place that sells soap and underwear needlessly politicize itself? How does it benefit anyone, consumer or purveyor?

Kind of weird, they sell pro trump stuff too. Think if they sell one should sell the other. Free market.

this is good for the right... whether you guys believe me or not... it shows normal people how biased/physco they are... pushes them(normal/ bi-partisan people) to the right.. and its getting ez... my best friends dad who has been super liberal all his life... said he would vote right, because of the "phsyco/crazyness" hes seen by the media from current liberals(transgender bs...etc)... his son is a firefighter and is right leaning... thats usually in different for a son voting different from his own family....usually family follows what the family has gravitated towards...thx Walmart.....helping you guys(libs) dig your own grave.(cracking knuckles)
