How much farther to go before woke Coke hits rock bottom?
By Silvio Canto, Jr.

Maybe we should call it "the pause that doesn't refresh" anymore.  At least, a lot of people are saying that as they overlook Coke for something else.  This is the latest from the long list of companies who listen to "the wokes" in H.R. rather than the customers who keep them in business. Check this out:

Mere weeks after going public with stern words about the new election law in Georgia, Coca-Cola has become far more muted in its corporate bellowing. Now, we know why. A new poll has come out to show more than pushback from select citizens has taken place; there is widespread rejection of the company's bold pronouncement, becoming just the latest in a growing list of companies who have suffered self-imposed, negative PR.

What a bunch of sissies, if I'm still allowed to use that word in this cancel culture.

First, they don't read the law and go on TV to repeat the talking points that the wokes gave them.  Second, they run away when the cash registers stop ringing.

The question is, why do they do it?  Nobody consumes a soft drink to endorse or reject a political idea.  We have elections and debates to do that.  We consume this or that because we like it and not much more.

I have added Coca-cola to my LIFETIME ban/boycott, with all major league sports, Nike and a dozen others.

There were years where I spent thousands on Coke products, and had influence over hundreds of thousands.  I will do everything to see to it in the future they receive no revenue from me and companies I influence. 

Americans have to get smart about who wants this country destroyed and why.  If we do not make it a criminal offense to conduct the anarchist activities that are destroying Democommie controlled cities, this nation is in trouble.

It did not take much for Hitler and his brown shirts to seize power and destroy Germany.  12 years, and Germany was completely destroyed.  Don't think that can't happen in the USA.  Just 12 years of not paying attention.

You're going to have a long wait.  It's not as if their competition isn't just as woke.

Coke hates 'White people'
Ok, I'm good with that.
I am too White to buy Coke.
You got me at "too White"

We'd like to force the world to think
In perfect harmony
And make them buy their soda pop
From one Woke company.

I fully support a lifetime ban on all anti American companies.  The list is long, but killing their revenue is the only thing they understand.  If Coke and Pepsi went out of business, someone else could easily take their place.

I would also suggest end vacationing in Democrat controlled cities.  Want to take a vacation, go to Florida, Texas, or a red state.

And end subsidizing Hollywood.  Boycott their movies, which are largely crap anyway.  Get our and walk or exercise.  Quit being couch potatoes.

Coca Cola will continue down this path until it finally rids itself of loathsome creatures on the board like this.

I owned quite a bit of Coca Cola stock and waited for the proxy to vote against these two before I dumped the stock permanently.  I also wrote corporate and told them they are practicing racism by going against new Georgia election laws which improve the integrity of the vote for all.
