The issue with that is that corporations are often the target of political attacks. Staying out of politics allows the other side free rein to make it’s case, unrebutted.

Walmart actually is exhibit a on this, given the extent to which Progs HATE it and organize politically against it. My take here is that Walmart has made a cynical political calculation that the goodwill it buys from the Left with this stance will be significant, while it’s more Conservative consumer base isn’t going to care.

The consumers may not care, but Walmart is dead wrong if it thinks this will buy them anything from the Left ...
