A couple of days ago the Chairman of the California Democratic Party called on California dems to boycott In-and-Out burgers because they'd donated $30,000 to Republicans. Apparently that didn't work so well :lamo



Funny thing is several papers are reporting that In-and-Out has donated over $80,000 to organizations backing moderate Democrat candidates, too.


For the In-and-Out deprived Double doubles are In-and-Out's signature hamburger -two slices of cheese and two hamburger patties.
 
What a petty, childish reason to call for a boycott.

These things happen organically. No one can call for something to go viral.

Pretty dumb considering in n out pays their people more than can be done, according to the rest of corporate America.

And still makes a profit.

Well, I don't run around whining "that's not the definition of viral" a lot, so that helps. :

Citation for what? Look up In-and-Out they'll tell you what a Double Double is.


Oh, you mean THIS?

It didn't take long for this hate-fest to backfire. In its first report a few hours later on the call for a boycott, the Sacramento Bee's Angela Hart noted:
In addition to its $25,000 this week, it [In-N-Out] donated $30,000 to the GOP in 2017 and $30,000 in 2016. It has also contributed to the California pro-business political action committee, "Californians for Jobs & A Strong Economy," which helps elect moderate Democrats. Most recently, it gave the PAC $80,000 in 2017.
As reactions mounted, later in the day, the Bee's Erika D. Smith cautioned (and mocked) Democrats:
As we edge ever closer to the oh-so-important midterm elections, the last thing Democrats need is to enlist more people who are willing to boycott or protest, but not vote. ...
It apparently doesn't matter that In-N-Out also donated $80,000 to a political action committee that supports moderate Democrats. Or that donating to conservative causes is nothing new for the Christian family that owns the Irvine-based fast-food chain. Last year, they contributed $30,000 to Republicans and another $30,000 the year before that.
BOYCOTT, WE MUST!
