they may be fine products but i don’t have to have them, and when they give a corporate eff you to conservatives, hey, i really find i don’t have to have them.

Apple DID NOT. Nor did Tim Cook. Don't believe the FUD propaganda being spread by someone with an agenda. Cook was speaking specifically to ONE SPECIFIC shareholder who was demanding Cook ignore the vote of 97% of the stockholders and embrace the position of the losing 3% ! That shareholder then wrote a press release quoting Cook, out of context, claiming Cook had told all conservatives to "drop dead!" When Cook said nothing like that! The media, using that SINGLE SOURCE repeated that claim as fact.

“...When Cook said nothing like that! The media, using that SINGLE SOURCE repeated that claim as fact.”

So we got that incident wrong which leads to the conclusion that Apple is conservative friendly? Good product/bad product, great debate material, but Apple financially supports the left and all that entails. So do lots of other companies, especially tech companies, but then why not just say Apple is run by a bunch of dicks but they make products I like?

Personally, I hate publicity stunts like that at shareholder meetings. I know it was the liberals who started it, but that doesn’t justify conservatives doing the same.

They’re just stunts, and they’re designed to elicit a reaction that can be used for PR/fundraising, not to actually do anything about corporate direction.
