Does anyone have a good resource for Blue companies to purchase from?

(1,492 posts)I don't know of any Blue Companies off of the top of my head. Mark Cuban is a Democratic supporter, so maybe whatever his businesses are. Mavericks basketball? I can only think of right wing companies right now, like Hobby Lobby or Chick-Fil-A. I would be interested in knowing about Blue Companies though. Anyone?

(16,272 posts)the place was crap. Cheap junk for sale all over the place and not much in actual medical-type things you would think would be in a drug store.
The place reminded me of a Dollar General.

(1,492 posts)I am a Rite Aid customer. I like their service and I like my Pharmacist. That said, if their ownership is right wing I would probably go elsewhere. I did a quick google search "is Rite Aid conservative?" and did not come up with any clear results. Do you have any sources that assert that Rite Aid is red? Where did you get that info? Also do you maybe have sources on CVS and Walgreens being blue? I had not heard that before. Thanks in advance for any response!

(2,958 posts)Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank dreamed up The Home Depot from a coffee shop in Los Angeles in 1978. Marcus transitioned on Nov. 4th, Blank is still with us.
Blank's participation is not surprising he's a longtime Democratic donor who has donated to various congressional and presidential campaigns. Yet Blank's political participation puts him at odds with his former business partner and other Home Depot cofounder, Bernie Marcus, who is among former President Donald Trump's top donors.
Beyond that, most of the the shares are owned by institutional investors.

(35,158 posts)I'm sorry they are both red.
I also have to use Amazon.
And I have to shop at Whole Foods sometimes.
I do shop at HEB most of the time, though.
And I try to shop at Marshall's as well.
