That was foolish puritanism. You jumped off the deep end needlessly

That was foolish puritanism.

Foolish? To decline to provide financial support to ideas I find abhorrent? I consider that simple exercise of responsible judgment. Do you think it is wise to provide financial contributions to politicians whose policies you dislike?

You jumped off the deep end needlessly.

Perhaps. But I do not *need* Netflix. So instead I would say that I declined a needless contribution to politicians with which I disagree. More than that, if every company that makes a strident political statement alienating half their potential customers paid a price for that political statement, then perhaps - just perhaps - they'd get back to entertaining instead of propagandizing. And I believe this nation *needs* that return to a search for common ground rather than polarization.
