Should PJradio stay on SiriusXM

oftenreading said:What some people don't seem to get is that people have a right to patronize businesses they like and not patronize businesses they don't. That is in no way suppressing ideas. No one here has said that Sirius doesn't have the right to have Bannon on if they chose; just that some people don't want to pay them for that.
They completely have the right to patronize businesses they do like and ones they do not. For example, if a bakery will not provide services to a gay couple, then I can totally understand why someone who is pro-gay would not choose to patronize that bakery.Here, we have a company who is being inclusive in giving voices to conservatives and liberals, and people in this thread are choosing to punish them for it.
So the next time Sirius wants to give a radio channel to a group that may not have the most popular ideas they may not be willing to do that because they fear their listeners will leave them. Again, this time you don't like the ideas so it is fine, but next time you may like those ideas. So, indirectly a boycott is suppressing ideas. It may not seem like a big deal in the Western World since we have so much freedom and ways to get information, but in less progressive countries they get stuck with only the government's viewpoints.

Whether or not someone wants to pay SiriusXM with Bannon aboard is a different question than whether Pearl Jam should stay on SiriusXM with Bannon aboard. I'm not a subscriber but if I were I wouldn't be happy about my subscription dollars supporting a pulpit for Steve Bannon. But I don't expect PJ to give up their own revenue stream just because Steve Bannon is now down the dial. If they choose to, fine. That's their choice. They shouldn't have to just to appease anyone else's politics or anyone else's idea of what Pearl Jam's politics should be.
