Those are both worse in other ways. Let’s look at the big picture!

Funny - a Target Ad just appeared on this page. So if they are advertising on this site, they are probably going to be okay.

1. It's not about any given executive, it's about corporate decisionmaking.
2. The goal is to get them to reinstate their previous DEIA policies.
3. Nobody has to shop at Walmart or Amazon - most people participating in the Target boycott have already been boycotting Amazon.
4. Your annoyance is immaterial.

You don't understand how algorithms work.

This. The Target boycott is because they caved to Trump and dismantled their DEI programs.

If you are anti-right wing policies and Trump, don't support Walmart. The Walton family (Walmart) are huge right-wing supporters

Hit submit too soon. Walmart underpays employees as part of their business model - they teach their employees to apply for food stamps, get housing assistance, etc., while taking in billions. They rely on the government subsidies to maintain their business

Me too. When I go to their website, I see Pride month and AAPI month highlighted., which is good.

Target's theme for Pride 2025 products is "Take Pride In Your Closet, And Stay In There"

It's almost impossible to find Pride Rainbow colors on a physical product.

There's tons of clothes and items?

Not in the stores. Which is why I'm shopping there again in June.

I was there this morning and saw a display near the front of the store. In NVa.

Interesting. The DC stores I've been in do not have it.

I’m not a fan of Target capitulating to Tump. But Walmart is not great politically either. And I’m definitely not a fan of Bezos.

So I’m still shopping at Target. It’s an environmental win for me since it’s in walking distance. Walmart is 20 miles away. So at least I’m helping with CO2 emissions.

Boycotts certainly do work as evidenced by Tesla. I might break down and go to Target if I need something but I will never buy any Tesla branded products and will help vote out any local politicians that give out Tesla contracts or otherwise bring Tesla to the community.

I went to Target this weekend and their make up display was very diverse. Every ethnicity represented, and also weight/body type. I wondered if it would offend Trumpies being so inclusive and diverse.

I hate target and don't shop there for anything.

+1 I’m shopping at small businesses that are mostly certified B-corp. Have never shopped at Walmart and only used Amazon for a party.

Same.

Actively boycotting Target and Amazon, have never shopped at Walmart, so not an issue. I feel I have so little power/voice, but I can choose where to spend, and where not to spend, my money

I’m SE Asian and voted for Trump.

I’m fine with it.
