Moderate turned pretty hard left progressive by the Trump era. Got infected with the "woke mind virus" somewhere along the way.

Now that Trump has been elected again, I think we should keep this quote in mind for the next 4 years:

One way to #protest and #resist the orange menace is to #boycott companies that support the right wing. This website helps. Just asked our #csa to stop using their paper bags. #RefuseUline

#Unilever who controls 5 of the world's top 10 selling #IceCream brands is looking to unload its entire frozen treats portfolio. Perhaps dealing with iconoclastic Ben & Jerry's insistence on #Boycott of sales in the occupied territories just tired the #Rotterdam based brand aggregator out, but they have directed a legal team to shed their sweet frozen treats portfolio including names like #Popsicle , #Klondike #Breyers, #Magnum, #Cornetto #Walls #Talenti and #GoodHumor that do close to $8 billion a year in sales.

It seems to me like the system is so broken that no party can compete solely with the support of well meaning grass roots constituents. Corruption is required to win.
The Democratic party should use this inflection point to shift ground – from being the party of well-off college graduates, big corporations, “never-Tumpers” like Dick Cheney and vacuous “centrism” – to an anti-establishment party ready to shake up the system on behalf of the vast majority of Americans.
This is and should be the Lesson of the 2024 election.
I almost forgot to follow up on this. I Tried "Beyond Good" chocolate, and It was pretty good. The price seemed reasonable too (on sale for $3 a bar).
I tried the 85% and 63% Sea Salt. This'll be my new go to chocolate for now. Still interested if anyone has other suggestions.

Thanks for the recommendation. Their chocolate looks very nice. I'd kind of like to find just a simple dark chocolate bar. I went down the list on the slave free chocolate site, and found "Beyond Good".
They're website showed that they are available at a local grocery chain. My wife was headed out, to get some things, so I asked her to pick one up.
I happened to see John Oliver's episode on chocolate about six months back, and decided to stop eating dark chocolate cold turkey. I'm really missing it, so I decided to go looking for Ethical Alternatives. I found the www.slavefreechocolate.org site. They specifically mention that Tony's Chocolonely is not on the list. Does anyone have any other sources of info?
