Progressive Shopper provides an easy way to keep track of the political contributions made by the companies you shop at. For any website where we have data - we will show a small ribbon on the right-hand side of the browser that will be:
Green: They mostly support Democrats Yellow: They are bipartisan in their contributions Red: They mostly give to Republicans
By clicking on the ribbon you get a wealth of information about the brands - as well as information on which competitors might better match your values.
Please note that if the user chooses to click on a competitor, they may be redirected to the brands' sites via affiliate links.
