So basically a precursor to an assault 'meme stash.'

As we already know, the left can't meme.

Interesting that the report didn't mention AOC. She spent a lot of time yammering about how Amazon is worse that Hitler, Satan, and Trump rolled into one.

Why not?  Makes it easy to remember whose primary challengers to donate to.

Honestly, Amazon is not a great company, but if folks routinely said about me and mine what is said about them, I'd keep a list too.  I wouldn't call it a burn list, I'd call it a FOAD list, and consult it when Politicians come to my mega corp asking for favors or cash.

In the era of ubiquitous politicking, not a bad notion.
