I stumbled upon this trick by accident. I needed a new dentist, I had driven by a sign for a dentist that looked good. But then I searched her name and one of the top results was a website that tells you everyone’s address and political party. Since my state makes public your party registration, it didn’t surprise me too much.
I had assumes that most dentists would be Democrats (or further left) since, you know, their job is based in the fundamental belief of science. Turns out, most dentists in my area are Republican.
I went through 15-20 dentists finding they were Republican before I decided to search for “LGBT friendly dentist near me”. The first result brought up a dentist office with both dentists being Democrats. It is genuinely the best dentist office I’ve been to. There was a clear focus on training, professionalism, and ultimately doing what was right by my teeth.
I’ve been slowly switching my entire care team over to registered democrats only ever since, and I’m liking the care.
Questionable from an individual privacy standpoint, though I do wish more information about the political contributions of specific businesses and their owners were public to more easily boycott fascist-led businesses.
Agreed. However, it was Republicans in my state that voted to make party registration public. I assume that all republican voters want me to know that they are a Republican, because that’s what Republican policy supports. I have no qualms judging people and avoiding them based on what they want me to know.
It would adjust my buying habits.
There’s some businesses in hard right areas that make really fantastic products and I’m always torn on whether I should support them or just get second best. There’s also companies that seem socialist but also get most of their income from US Military.
“We support the troops” and “John 3:16” in website footers are really helpful but the savvy companies don’t put that in.
