Cross-posted from âToo Bad, So Sad, Too Late - McDonaldâs tells U.S. restaurants itâs not a âpolitical brandâ after Trump visitâ by @JimmyBigSausage@lemm.ee in !news@beehaw.org
Excerpt:
Though President Donald Trump visited a Pennsylvania McDonaldâs location on Sunday, the fast-food giant is trying to stay neutral in the presidential race.
âAs weâve seen, our brand has been a fixture of conversation in this election cycle. While weâve not sought this, itâs a testament to how much McDonaldâs resonates with so many Americans. McDonaldâs does not endorse candidates for elected office and that remains true in this race for the next President,â the company said in an internal message viewed by CNBC and confirmed by a source familiar with the matter.
I havenât eaten at a McDonalds since before covid, and I donât really miss it.
If McDonaldâs isnât political, they should have that as part of the brand standards to which franchisees must adhere.
McDonaldsâ opposition to unions is political.
When youâre door is open to fascist demagogues, itâs not open to everyone.
They donât care. Nazis have money too, and McDonalds doesnât discriminate.
So I can have my local McDonaldâs close for several hours while I get some vanity pictures of me standing in front of a fryer?
Allowing everyone behind the counter serving food to unknowing customers sounds like a massive health code violation.
Without a hair net or hand washing in Trumps case. Photo op is gonna get yâall sick and youâll deserve.
If a Nazi sits at a table with 9 others and no one objects, there are 10 Nazis sitting at that table.
If your company platforms racists, itâs a racist company.
But also you must leave within 30 mins or itâs loitering and you will be trespassed.
