Do you think supporting small business is a left aligned practice and you just need to let people know how much hate you have available?
Ahh yes, supporting le petit bourgeoisie and their dreams to become a small business tyrant … Totally a central tenet of socialist theory.
The problem with small business owners is that they overwhelmingly support the conservative machine because the actual upper class throw them bones to use them as a political buffer between themselves and the working class.
The simple fact is that most small businesses are dependent on tax breaks and low minimum wages to stay in business, and are often worse and more dangerous places to be employed than larger corporations.

you piss off your boss at a big corp and lose them a bunch of money, you get fired
you piss off your boss at a mom and pop and lose them a bunch of money, they turn up at your house
That last part reminded me of the common response from libs when Biden wanted to take 6 years to raise minimum wage to a pitiful $15/hr was “But doing it immediately would hurt small businesses!!! We have to do it slowly and tell people to suck it up even though it still won’t be enough by the time the $15 gets here!!!”
