Comprehensive list of Democratic-owned/leaning companies

[matt819]

Anyone know of such a list? I thought I saw such a thing a few years ago, but can't recall where.

I know this kind of list can't cover everything, but it was pretty extensive.

The easy avoids are Georgia-Pacific (Koch), Hobby Lobby and Chick-fil-a (rabid RWers). How about liquor companies? Don't care about beer - I buy only craft beers from a local place. I have no idea what his politics are, but he knows beer. So, no, I don't make every decision based on political leaning, but when the info is available, I'd like to have the opportunity to find it.

Thanks.

1. Great Idea!

I make an effort to avoid businesses owned by RWers, but it would be nice to know which ones we should support.

2. I have a phone app named "Buycott" that scans products

then cites and categorizes them for "issues," but not necessarily governmental political ones: food, health, human rights, human traffikking, immigration, labor, LGTBQ rights, veterans, women's rights, social responsibility, other. In Google Play store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buycott.android&hl=en

Similar but don't know about the scan feature, "Boycott" in the Apple Store here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/boycott-dislike/id1299440847

One can even make additions using either one, I think, and let users know why.

So check out either Phone Store you need or prefer for the app you'd like to use after exploring web info in your browsers.

3. There used to be a site BuyBlue.org but it folded in 2007

BuyBlue.org was an online consumers' guide designed to help progressives in the United States choose brands that favored their politics. Its editors rated companies based on their campaign contributions and other factors. Its name refers to the popular idea of the U.S. being sharply divided, culturally and politically, into red states and blue states that voted Republican and Democrat, respectively, in the 2000 election.

The website encouraged users to submit articles that criticize or applaud a company's business practices. The submitting user assigned a binary categorical rating of positive or negative with regards to the company's adherence to progressive business practices as described in the article. The absolute number of articles submitted and each submitted article's rating were used to calculate a company's overall rating. A five-point scale ranked a company's degree of progressiveness or regressiveness according to users' submissions.

The website hosted blogs and message boards designed to steer consumers towards businesses favored by the party, to exert direct political pressure on targeted businesses, and to foster activism among the site's users. Though this website was geared toward liberals, conservatives could also use it to find out which companies are supporting Republicans.
