I started looking up party registration of my doctors and I feel my medical experience has improved. (beehaw.org)

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.

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.
