Seriously... If we ONLY shopped "blue" we'd not have much of a selection, particularly when you take into account the various definitions of "blue shopping".

24. Target isn't what I'd call a red shop.... It is mixed in its donations.... |
|
And its policies generally seem more blue than red....
Not as blue as I'd like, surely, but certainly much much better than Walmart.

17. What Blue stores are left? *no pun intended* |
|
Target gave 60% to R's and 40% to Dems, that beats Walmart by a long shot.
It is also a store that gives many Grants to organizations that help many causes.
So, I shop there at times because it's the best alternative in my area.
Any other Suggestions? :hi:

And as a former PT worker for Target, I'll vouch for the fact that they are great to their employees, much better than some (albeit a bit stingy with their wages, but hey).

21. Don't know where ya live... |
|
if it's all ya got, then :shrug: everyone does what they can. In my area, there are many locally owned non-chain businesses, resale shops, secondhand stores like Goodwill, for groceries, Whole Foods, etc. I used to have a SERIOUS Target habit -- I was in there every week, even bought groceries at the SuperTarget. I have managed to wean myself off of them and I am buying much less now, because I'm making a point to buy in locally owned shops. It's more of a pain in the ass -- I love Target, everything all under one roof is great! But it made it waaaaaay too easy for me to buy too much crap --- because it was there.

26. I like your moderate attitude, but one should also balance GASOLINE |
|
use. If one can shop local stores close by--great. On foot, even better. But, if one is avoiding a MIXED store, like Target (which does after all give 40% to Dems and does have rather blue policies), to drive miles across town, think of the boost you are giving to Bush* key benefactors--the energy industry.

Nah, I live in a big urban car-riffic area. I just go by the places I need to go on the way home. It's just "places other than Target" now. :(
Now, my COMMUTE is another thing entirely, but I'll have to start working on that slowly. At one point I was in good enough shape to bike to work, but since it's 17 miles and approx an hour and a half one way on the bike, it's kind of a big committment.
I *do* carpool 1 day a week. :)

31. Hell I rarely shop at any major chain store. |
|
But I do shop Target about 2 or 3 times per year.
We have small downtown shops, but the prices are 3x higher and the selection is not much.
I also shop at used clothing stores and Whole foods when I can.
But, when I need to buy gifts, I buy new. :hi:

25. Exactly... Target iS NOT RED... not purely either one, but more blue than |
|
Edited on Tue Dec-21-04 04:34 PM by hlthe2b
most BIG BOX stores....
So, the purists can just go chill out... NOT shopping at the obvious REPUG stomping grounds (e.g., Walmart) is certainly a worthwhile start. I really resent the tendency to try to "one up each other" on how PURE BLUE we are.

32. Target was also owned by Mark Dayton's family at one time.... |
|
He's my Senator from Minnesota, and they have a solid history of being a good organization.
