And folks, I am not asking for tips on how to survive without Amazon.
Yes, of course it is possible, if you are committed and have the time to shop around.
I am criticizing the STRATEGY here.
In large part because when boycott calls become background noise, people stop listening.

Also. If you don't have a plan for a boycott to appreciably impact the retailer (as seems to be the case here), just don't do it.

Jesus, man, I didn't say take it at face value, and I didn't say he's a centrist whisperer. I said he's of the centrist/center-right faction. And I'll say I'm worn out by fellow leftists who think we can strategize without studying the spectrum and knowing what others are thinking.
