But take heart, guys! You can always sell your overpriced drink during breaks in the Antifa riots. Just be sure that your vendors keep their heads low.

Coca-Cola, whose CEO denounced the Georgia voting bill, is now striking a conciliatory tone after coming under pressure from conservatives.
The soda giant, which is based in Atlanta, was absent from a list of more than 500 corporations and individuals that signed a statement condemning any election legislation that would “restrict” voters from having “an equal and fair opportunity to cast a ballot.” The missive was placed as a two-page Wednesday ad in the New York Times and Washington Post, with the effort being organized by the Black Economic Alliance.
Coca-Cola said in a statement to the Washington Examiner on Wednesday that the company “had not seen the letter” initiated by the alliance but is “certainly open to hearing their perspective." It said it has supported the right to vote and that it will assess how to support voting rights.
“We believe the best way to make progress now is for everyone to come together to listen, respectfully share concerns and collaborate on a path forward. We remain open to productive conversations with advocacy groups and lawmakers who may have differing views," the company said. "It’s time to find common ground. In the end, we all want the same thing – free and fair elections, the cornerstone of our democracy.”
Coca-Cola’s Wednesday remarks are notably less confrontational than its previous statements on the Georgia voting law.

Woke Coke not for the folk.

It is not their job to find common ground. They just make coke and soft drinks.
“It’s time to find common ground” = the boycott is working, dammit
I wonder how many business owners in the last month or so have called Coke and said “come and get your machine.”
That sends a message real quick.
Good point.
&#ck coca-cola
No more..... from any of them!
Playtime is over and the leftists are playing for keeps. You are delusional if you think that a political party that would lock up an entire nation, cause massive unemployment, and starve you and yours to death will stop itself from just shooting you dead. Coca-Cola needs to be destroyed.

I will never buy coke again. Oh, and thanks to Freepers for letting me know pepsi is no better so they are on the boycott list as well.
With the number of companies going woke, pretty soon, I will be growing my own food and drawing water from a well.
It’s a target rich environment for boycotts, for sure. We can easily forego buying many of the things that woke companies sell. We conservatives have buying power. Its time to wield it.
Yo, Coca-Cola, you might want to revive your “I’d like to buy the world a Coke” campaign because the world sure isn’t going to be buying one for themselves.
Oh, really now? At first it was screw you knuckle-dragging Trump supporters, and when the blowback began and started to bite, it’s all, let’s be friends. I don’t think so. KTF
Nope
FOAD coke, forever
That's exactly what the Georgia bill does, dipstick. Why don't you read it?
P*ss off, Coca Cola.
The CocaCola spokesman said, “we all want the same thing - free and fair elections.” If only that were true. Fair elections are the very last things Democrats want.
Do leftie execs ever get fired for offensive statements?
Nah, that’s OK, Coke, you just stay woke. And we’ll just stop buying your products. Then you’ll have what you want you and yous customers will share the same political views.
Why you want that, we have no idea...but now that we do, we’ll make it happen.
Who’s the next stupid azz corporation to shoot their mouths off supporting fraudulent elections?
Be my guest, step right up!
