I have Amazon Prime and inquired about getting a pro-rated refund. Don’t think you can.

amazon CHEATS in taxes and pays no postage
but elects to help one side in its monopoly.

the monopoly exists because of the corrupt Congress
owning stock and getting kickbacks.

CW2 needs Robespierre. Please pick up the red phone, now.

I just thought of a question: yes the Left is totally hypocritical. But, isn’t there any legal basis the feds could go after these companies for discrimination to sell services to individuals based on their lifestyles?

“Southern Poverty Law Center” did a very clever thing when they selected their name... makes it harder to go after a bunch of thugs when they have ‘Poverty’ in their name.

I have Amazon Prime and watch the movies often. Noticed yesterday when I went to the movie list, they added a new section at the very top labeled:

Black Lives Matter.

Pathetic.

Well there goes another company I will no longer buy from. I am signed up to help support Wounded Warriors Project through my Amazon account. I will now support them all directly from now on. Forget Amazon, shop locally!!

Just about every major corporation has bowed down in submission to the great god of hate-America/hate-Whitey. There is nowhere left to take our business to.

These days, I buy almost everything other than food and health products on the secondary market (I.e. used). I try to limit my interaction with PC corporations.

I use Amazon Smile and my pennies go to Judicial Watch, and the last quarter results were JW got $73,000.

Not too shabby for just using Amazon Smile and directing your donation to the cause of your choice.

Many people will boycott Amazon, but I comparison shop, and when it is in my interest to use Amazon I will, if not I go with the best choice, where ever that may be.

As a Amazon Prime member for years, you cannot beat their return policy, which is if you want to return it in the first 30 days, just do it, no hassle and no charge and no bullshit.

Yeah, Bezos is a billionaire, but if Amazon didn't satisfy it's customers, it would just be eBay or so and so's list.

I use Amazon Smile when I have to and my donations are sent to Terri Schiavo’s Light And Hope Network. It stinks about SPLC calling the shots, but maybe consider choosing that charity as your choice?

"While Amazon is within its rights as a private company to conduct its business the way it wants, consumers also have a right to complain to Amazon and to ultimately decide not to do business with the retailer if their complaints aren’t taken seriously."

Nice. A grown-up take on the issue.

Hardly. The Nazis passed laws banning the doing of business with Jews. The legal system has always been used by socialists to otherize people.

Some of us are smart enough to see where this is going, and some of us have to wait for the camp doors to slam to realize something went wrong.

They are following the same plan that all left wing radicals do, from the radical gays to the radical muslims. They stat off seeming nice and fuzzy and goofy and harmless. They try to fit in. As they grow in strength, they begin pushing, testing the boundaries. Gently at first, but if there is no pushback they increase their efforts. This keeps going until they feel they have to strength to stop pretending to be anything other than what they are: angry hardcore left wing radicals. They practically dare you to do something about it. Sometimes, like with Al Queda, someone finally did. But thanks to the echo chamber of Twitter which makes people thing the radicals are actually the majority, people are scared to even suggest pushing back.

No imagine you own that echo chamber, it's the only one, and you use it to artificially suppress one side and amplify the other? Scary what they are doing to our culture so quickly.

First, before you delete your Amazon customer accounts, show your displeasure with Amazon in public comments on the Amazon site. Then wipe your customer accounts.

Find the individual vendors wherever you can, and order directly from them or their dealers.
