So why are leftists not attacking these companies back harder? If all it takes to change is a few tweets and right wing complaining it shouldn’t be hard to be more harmful to ignore.
First of all, you’re talking about liberals, not leftists. Secondly, people are getting burnt out in Identity politics. It’s a huge distraction from economic progress. Politicians are just as guilty of virtue signaling as these companies are. Yes, liberals virtue signal inclusivity just as much as conservatives virtue signal Christianity and nationalism. The majority of people want free and easy access to healthcare, free education, and an end to being constantly taken advantage of and ripped off at every turn.
We already advocate for the complete abolishment of such institutions and could’ve told you a thousand times over they only do shit like this if it’s profitable. They don’t care. They never care. Let’s not waste organizing time and energy doing something that will only ever be temporary. Don’t change corporations, abolish them.
The right wing complaining works much better because they’re advocating for what the company already wants to do.
I think the problem lies in the very heart of what it means to be conservative or liberal. Conservatives tend towards group-think because they’re either bullies, or the bullied. Liberals - by the very definition of the word - are a much more widely varied bunch that understand & respect other people’s right to have a difference of opinion. Therefore it’s much more difficult to achieve a unified front on the left than it is on the right. This is why the right dominates our lives so much despite being in a relative minority.
The left has never been as good at cancel culture (boycotting) as the right. At their core, the left are just people just trying to get by while the right actively try to be offended, which is why they’re the ones who actually try to legislate how others live.
The right will actually boycott shit. Most on the left will go about their business.
Radical self-righteous conservatives are arrogant. They’ll buy less, shop amazon, go to their butcher, etc. A lot of conservative places do have some other local options, even if they’re more limited or not as convenient.
First, they’d have to be white leftists. Then they’d also need to have money. Last, they’d have to be doing what establishment leadership already wants to do. Really, it’s just the last bit - good luck with that! lol
DEI programs are expensive. They would’ve cut them years ago if they didn’t think it bought good PR. It was always just marketing, as these programs aren’t mandated by law

Considering walmart has a monopoly in areas that lean conservative… who exactly are they going to boyscott as an alternative?

Because doing the right thing takes extra money and effort. Walmart is happy to drop this effort because it’s cheaper.
