Word. We finally got Habit in Central NJ a few years back. Good stuff.
Oh, man. My college years at ju-co and the University of Florida. I miss the seasoned fries.

Which is why I still, from time to time, want a Quarter Pounder and fries. I know it’s crap. But sometimes I just want the crap I remember with fond familiarity.
And yet somehow, I didn’t grow up Republican.

Sodo has Pick-Quick and I can attest to the one in Fife being damn tasty.
If believe there is a Blue Moon in the South Lake Union area.
Downtown proper if you wanna spend a few $$$ Tom Douglas’ Palace Kitchen has a very nice burger and other foodstuffs.
Which direction are you travelling in from?
I’d like to get a burger from this place:

So true. But the good news is that a growing percentage of younger people never had the chance to get nostalgic about crappy burgers of past generations:

This is a BS issue.
*The donation was small potatoes (25K, rite?)
*It was generic, to the GOP not some wacko cause or individual.
*In N Out is an industry leader in their employment sector: They offer the best pay, benefits, environment, and treatment in the fast food sector.
*The donate MILLIONS to a wide-range of charities, homelessness, etc…
If this is your litmus test for boycotting something, I dare you to scratch surface on everything you own or use and you’ll find you’ll be forced to be self-sufficient.

Some see the current state of the GOP as a wacko cause.

I get that. But, this is a level of donation I believe is way below meriting “punishment” as it were. In fact, I think when we get too militant about these type of stuff it becomes a negative to discourse, in general.

In case you haven’t noticed, politics in the US is a bit past the point of discourse. How many lawsuits are currently in play, that were brought about by administration policies?

That’s true. Almost every technological artifact you own contains significant parts made by companies that donate to both parties, even now, because you have to to be a player in a capital-intensive industry. Probably not the case for Samsung or maybe Huawei, but definitely the case for anything made by an American company, or anything with an Intel chip or Micron memory in it.

If you can detour through Wallingford the newish Wally Burgers is my current favorite. There is another Blue Moon (and checking the website the SLU one is no more) in Freemont as well as Uneeda Burger which offers the glorious and tasty calorie bomb known as poutine.
ETA If you wanna drive up a bit further north Rain City would fit in well theme wise and of course there is the classic joint Red Mill in the interbay area.

Making a political statement by boycott is more about media attention than being self sufficient.

My fellow Americans, I’m pleased to tell you today that I’ve signed legislation that will outlaw Burger King forever. We begin bombing in five minutes.

So, your suggestion is we just ignore it until it goes away by itself?

Boycotting Shell because of the Brent Spar issue worked quite well.
Kicking corporations in the wallet tends to get noted. After all, C-suite bonuses are at risk.
Although TBH, boycotting Shell didn’t take any effort; you just drove to another petrol station to fill 'er up but could feel smug about it all the same.

I’ve been boycotting Chic-Fil-A since the 1980’s, when I noticed they were the only fast food joint in the mall food court that closed on Sunday. Being a southern boy, I knew what that meant: the joint was run by religious zealots. Teenage me didn’t understand the full breadth of their maleficence, but still it was enough for me to decide I wanted no part of what they were selling.
