Trump tries to cancel Goodyear, Backfires, Biden campaign releases ad capitalizing on the situation. Thoughts?

I think that this gives biden a little advantage, but it's all still up in the air. If you asked me who'd win 6 months ago, I'd say Trump vs Biden, Trump would win. Trump vs Bernie, Bernie would win.

But now I'm not so sure. I think Trump is slightly more likely to win than biden by a hair.

My takeway is that Trump really likes to play up conspiracy theories. He is exposing himself as a hypocrite right here. He talks about fake news but he is lying to the American people all for his own benefit and against American interests.

It borders on treasonous. If the details are the way I understand them, Goodyear has to sue Trump for defamation or whatever.

Looks like Goodyear wants to have their cake and eat it too. They affirm the policy that BLM is okay but ALL or BLUE LIVES MATTER is not allowed.

Rather, Goodyear said in the aforementioned statements that its “zero tolerance” policy allows workers to express support on equity issues, but also that it asks employees not to express support for political campaigns or to advocate for issues that fall “outside the scope” of equity issues.

im tyred of hearing trumps spin. his pressured air, his lack of grip... he's just over inflated

employee's of goodyear are sppose to wear goodyear branded uniforms
if you went to a mcdonalds and the manager seen their staff wearing playboy, or justin bieber clothes instead of their mcdonalds uniform. they would send the staff home to change into the proper uniform

i find it funny how spendulus (usually a reasonable mind) is going to avoid goodyear simply because the company want their employees to actually wear the employee uniform

whats next. avoid going to the grocery store because one day a insane shop worker turned up in only underwear.. and the store has an appropriate clothing policy so sent the worker home. to get dressed and your now going to avoid a grocery store because they dont allow workers to turn up in just underwear

..
sorry but companies have uniform policies. get used to it

@franky1 I agree that there’s nothing wrong to ask employees to stick to a particular uniform, as this practice is done by all stores and companies alike. Furthermore I believe that @Spendulus is trying raise a point about their double standards, where they allowed certain campaigns, and disallowed other campaigns which fall in the same category. @KonstantinosM lastly I don’t think that one single topic can change the tide of the election, but I’m sure that Democrats will be raising this topic once again in coming months to attack Trump for political gains.

Condescending "uniform policies" bullshit, is it? As usual you don't have a fucking clue as to what's going on across the big pond.

Here is the problem. (it's not the MAGA hat thing)

BLM= OKAY
All LM / Blue LM = Not Okay

Hm. Within this very source it seems like Goodyear Corporate wasn't the one who put out this information regarding BLM is acceptable but not MAGA.

There is some info here talking about how federal employees could support BLM (by wearing a BLM shirt) but not wear a MAGA shirt, at work, as it is obviously a political  slogan. The memo (from snopes) references that the same treatment would've been present if a federal employee wore a shirt with a slogan of Clinton 'Forever Together'

Not really sure what exactly is being argued about here. There were allegations against Goodyear and they seem to be unsubstantiated.

Again with this shit against private businesses. If Goodyear wants to mandate certain attire standards they can. If they wanted everyone to wear MAGA hats that'd be fine too. If some MAGAts want to "boycott" Goodyear while simultaneously bitching about cancel culture - more power to them. The tire shop will probably put Dunlop on and charge them extra for the privilege.

Totally agree with that. If a private business wants to do something like this, they have the right to as they want to control what exactly their customers see and what their customers associate with the brand. Might not be the best idea for your employees to be wearing all different political affiliation hats and leaving a bad taste in customers mouths b/c they think that Goodyear is okay with this.

But yeah, private can do as they please. But boycotting them is fine too. Nothing wrong there.

I'm pretty sure this whole situation didn't come down from corporate. Unless I read something wrong here, totally possible.

I see no reason why anyone would want to buy Goodyear tires. If you need tires, you should get them elsewhere that are better quality for a lower price.

Goodyear is making in kind contributions to the DNC and CCP in their policy. If they are not reporting these contributions to the FEC, they are breaking the law.

Their policy is that employees can only support organizations that seek to bring communism to the US. Anyone doing business with Goodyear is indirectly supporting communism.

This is off topic, but I think it is a very good year to get re-elected as President.

...There were allegations against Goodyear and they seem to be unsubstantiated.

No, they are not unsubstantiated.

Goodyear  corporate affirmed that BLM is okay with them, but Blue Lives Matter is not.
