I’ve yet to see a single business with any political signs. It just seems doing that would alienate 33% of customers.

I actively chose not to walk into a bar in my neighborhood when I saw they had a Mike Doyle (the one with an R after his name) sign prominently facing outward from the window by the main entry.

I was like, "this place is conveniently close by, let's get a - NOPE."

Silky’s in Bloomfield? They have one.

Yes, it greatly lowered my opinion of that establishment

Fake Mike Doyle was in the neighborhood for the Columbus Day parade, because if there’s one thing Bloomfielders love, it’s shutting down our entire neighborhood for the enjoyment of some dickhead who lives in the suburbs. He might’ve dropped off the sign himself.

They also let a bunch of nazis hang out there and hand out propaganda to random bypassers that one time

Oof, that's even more gross and uncool.

It had a concept I wanted to like from the few times I popped in, but what I'm hearing about it (along with the aforementioned political endorsement) isn't a great look.

Lol, why are people like this? You can’t just agree to disagree? No one completely agrees with all a candidates positions … and then to make a judgement to not interact at all is baffling. I’m sure you’d agree on more than you would disagree with the business owner, regardless of political affiliation...

A business's ownership proudly flaunting that they're giving money and votes to candidates who would be happy if over half my friend group died in childbirth says a lot about them.

Just because you display a sign doesn’t mean you agree with all viewpoints - have a talk with the person. I’m pro-choice but have voted for republicans on many occasions. It’s just sometimes there are more issues I align with on a particular candidate … just in this little exchange I understand why you vote democrat and am okay with it. Right to choose is your most important issue.

We can agree to disagree on certain issues. Other issues are non starters. For me, if you’re an election denier, you won’t get my vote even if we agree on every other issue.
