Please don't give corporate America a "pass" on Voter Suppression

This statement is some pretty weak tea from Coca-Cola

"The ultimate goal should be fair, secure elections where access to voting is broad-based and inclusive," Coca-Cola's statement continued.

No Coca-Cola! The "ultiimate" goal should be to destroy that current fucking bill!

Maybe I'll buy a Coke if you come out and "unequivocally", and with no "wiggle-room" say that the current bill must be pulled, set on fire, and NEVER submitted again.

Defending Democracy and fighting racist Jim Crow Laws is NOT wishy-washy.

While it pisses me off to realize how much power corporate America has over our Democracy, they have created this shitshow we are living through.

Seditionists? Q-Dipshits? Racist State Legislatures? Gerrymandering?

All with corporate dark money funding them.

And Why? Fucking tax cuts and anti-Union, fuck working Americans political policies.

Now, they look around and realize, "fuck! racism, sedition, and having a fucking moron with a shaved golden retriever ass on his head authoritarian president might be "bad for business".

Corporate America now has the difficult task of continuing to pump dark money to elect fascists, while convincing the rest of us progues to buy products from companies that support politicians that want to kill us.

Judging from Coke's statement, they haven't yet found the sweet spot between financially supporting Nazis, while still ensuring non-Nazis buy their products, BUT, their PR team is working on it.

I hope corporate America understands that bullshit double speak statements are NOT acceptable when the very existence of our Democracy is at stake.

We are one or two voter suppression laws away from a General Strike!

At least I hope we are.
