Facebook and Twitter Contribute Over 90% to Dems

Wondering why Facebook and Twitter snapped into the full-on Orwellian Ministry of Truth by censoring the New York Post bombshell on Hunter Biden?

Donation records may help explain that.

Open Secrets records revealed that for “all federal candidates,” both Facebook and Twitter gave over 90 percent of their political contributions to Democrats for the 2020 cycle so far. The combined multi-million-dollar total of both platforms was split among individual employee donations and PAC money. The top recipient for both organizations was none other than Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. There is clearly no doubt where these gargantuan tech companies stand politically.

Over 90% to Dems.

The rest likely includes Commie party, Green party, etc.

I presume most of the other 10% is to CPUSA, Greens, anti-Trump GOPes and Libertarians.

And both Facebook and Twitter caused a Streisand effect response by trying to suppress the story. Whoops. 😏

Still, it needs to be considered an “in-kind” contribution to the Rat political campaign, as does the overwhelming bias and advocacy campaign but the MSM.

Twitter, in particular, contributed over 98 percent via individual employee donations.

While true, both Twitter and Facebook did NOT anticipate the gigantic blowback it got over the Internet. All it did was give the story more "legs" than it should have.

Bribes to stay in business don’t always work.

The Republicans have no financial incentive not to tear into Facebook and Twitter. Those two organizations are going to learn how politics is played. They need to balance their donations to get protection.

“Nice little social service you had here. It would be a shame if something happened to it. You remember Microsoft, right.”
