Walmart's appeal is gaining among Democrats
CBS "News" ^ | March 30, 2018 | By AIMEE PICCHI

A funny thing happened to Walmart during the past five years: The retailer -- known for its Arkansas roots and its red-state appeal -- has made inroads with left-leaning shoppers.

A majority of shoppers who identify as Democrats now say they would consider shopping at Walmart, a shift from just five years ago when slightly more than four out of 10 said they would buy from the store. Democrats also say they now view Walmart in a positive light, while five years ago their perception was negative.

Walmart has also increased its workers' pay and spoken out against anti-gay laws, leading the LGBT magazine The Advocate to remark on Walmart's "transformation into an LGBT ally."

"It is unusual to see a brand improve with one political party while maintain its ratings with another political party," Marzilli said. "It's a hard feat to pull off."

Sorry to break it to you but you’ve always been surrounded by them.

Yes. It’s rare that I’m in a Wally World checkout line and don’t see someone paying with an EBT card.

Good point.

Walmart let’s full blown trannies serve as clerks. 6’ tall men in sun dresses. Sodomite Sales Associates.

How can they stop that? If they do, they lose millions. The next day, another man will dress like a woman to cash in too.

It’s our legal system that’s the problem here more than Walmart. If it was your business, you would do the same.

Absolutely agree! America's greatest illness is our magnitude of lawyers and their morals.

Unlike Target, Walmart is far more neutral in the culture wars. I believe they prefer to stay out of it as much as possible.

When it comes to legal issues, I believe they do what they have to do.

Yeah, I believe they lean more liberal than conservative.

Lawyers are destroying this nation. Most the PC nonsense and racial issues are fueled by lawyers. We’ve allowed common-sense to be thrown out the window for their gain.

We’ve got more than 10x the lawyers we would ever need. They don’t produce anything. They so often create a lot of non-sense just to grab a cut.

That's something you seldom see in our local Wally World: open checkout stands side by side. Most of the time, there are 22 checkout stands with an average of three or four which are actually open.

They really don't seem to care how long the lines stack up.

“A majority of shoppers who identify as Democrats now say they would consider shopping at Walmart”

I wonder if it's why they check your bags and sales slips more often as your walking out.

Good point.

Have you ever seen those photos of “The people at Walmart”? I can guarantee that most of them are Democrats.

Glad to hear! But, many elderly do vote D out of fear of losing benefits.

I love Wal-Mart. Where else can one see a wedding dress draped over a case of Pennzoil?

Lefties starting to like Walmart? Geez, as long as they shunned it I knew they wouldn’t be able to ruin it like they ruin everything else they touch.

When they market the idea of tranny rights to suburban white women they always show someone who had hormones starting at age 11 and has been essentially chemically forced through a female puberty, looks like real girl and is wearing a nice dress. "Oh dear, the poor thing can't use a men's room of course! Why, she has boobs after all! Ooh, those eyebrows are on fleek, I wonder how she does them?"

But what I've seen since this movement has taken off has been fat men in hot pants, fishnets and high heels walking around the city. Because that is what 99% of trannies really look like, a freakish caricature of a streewalker. But like the gays got temporarily rid of the feather boas, a**-less chaps and the nun costumes so they could look normal long enough to win white suburban women over, only "girly" trannies can be seen on TV. Reality is quite different.

I once worked with a guy who railed against Wal-Mart for being a monopoly and putting small, local stores out of business, said he HATED them. But, he also admitted he regularly shopped at Wal-Mart because nobody else could match their price on diapers and other baby products. He said he hated them even more for “forcing” him to choose between his values and his budget. It was hilarious.
