Eh, I still have a hard time with the comparison as we're comparing political retribution against a government versus political retribution against a private entity. Something I hadn't thought of with my previous response is that retribution from the federal government for something they disagree with on the state level is the bread and butter of federalism in this country. We are constantly using bribes and threats of punishment with states to get them to fall in line with federal law. It's why the drinking age is what it is around the country, for instance. So while this instance with Biden is a different format, it falls in line with how our systems work and I can't see it on the same level as Trump calling for boycotts of private entities while he was in office. Him calling for the boycott right now doesn't matter to me at all, just what he did while in office.
