Four years ago, Meg Whitman burned the midnight oil raising money for Mitt Romney's presidential campaign, while Johnvey Hwang volunteered 100-hour weeks building apps for Barack Obama.

But today they're on the same side.

Eight years after left-leaning technology executives and workers first threw their enthusiastic support to Obama, a new alliance has formed to keep Donald Trump out of the White House.

The New York billionaire's opposition to free trade and his calls to curtail legal immigration made him a pariah in the Bay Area


What's not to like about a President Hillary. Unlimited illegals to clean your house and take care of your kids, unlimited H1-Bs to work in your software companies, and unlimited imports from China to overwhelm the local markets. Life if good for the ultra rich in Silicon Valley.

Wealthy white liberals are the biggest hypocrites in the world. They like minorities when they’re serving as their domestics and in other support roles, but once people of color start moving into their exclusive neighborhoods, these people turn into the biggest racists you’ll ever see. White liberals have a patronizing view of people of color, and they don’t see or imagine them ever being their equal.

“Clinton drawing record cash from Silicon Valley despite techies’ cool embrace”

Bunch of stupid white guys that either want desperately to be out of a job, or a bunch of white guys that want to put the grunts out of work so they can import a bunch of cheaper alternatives.

It is astonishing how in 30 years, the Merc has morphed from the voice of high tech to the stooge of the uber-left.

Spot on

They’re the first ones out of the hood.

And they don’t have to be wealthy either.

Just liberal.

The middle class hauls a** outta there too.

And then crows about the “lack of ‘diversity’” in the latest conservative enclave they’re relocated to.

Yep seeing that as well.

If anyone had a brain, they'd read right through them though. Her big plan is to raise taxes on 'corporations and the 1%'ers' and institute an 'exit tax' to penalize any company leaving the United States.

First, corporate taxes are already the highest in the world and since taxes are passed along to the consumer, this is both inflationary and stupid.

Secondly, I'm sure countries like Mexico and China would simply offset any exit tax on behalf of a company and still allow the companies to leave the United States.

But, stupid people will lap this plan up.

Silicon Valley is 75% foreigner H-1B.

It is run by Rent Seekers who ruined the STEM tech industry.

Tech CEOs are foolish who import millions of people who cannot vote. They are NON Innovators who buy up other’s ideas.

Anti Trust the entire place with military precision.

This story is so bogus......

Hillary and Bill have tons of money stashed offshore. They wire-transfer it in periodically and dream up some bogus story.....
that Hillary is so popular, so-and-so gave all this money to her campaign.

Mean while she has to hire people to attend her sparsely attended high school gymnasium rallies.

Precisely, my FRiend.

And yet people looking for work (including union members) oddly still think that the Dems will help them.

The moral illiterates that populate the tech ghettos in this country are not an asset in building the nation’s future.

Dahling ...lets not turn a blind eye! Because If I’m watching the Olympics even though their Opening ceremonies was disgusting, ugly, laughable and stunk to high heaven of nothing but their stupid agenda including Hitlery’s arrow cutout sign worn by the kids...I guarantee you millions upon millions of people are watching them. this is an opportunity for trump to drill a stake in the beast’s heart!! But as of now I haven’t seen one iota of an ad coming from his camp! An opportunity missed! I just hope I’m wrong and they’ve got a slew of them waiting to run during the most watch competitions!

Trump should return the Valley’s kindness by eliminating the H1-B and OPT visas & sending current visa holders home.
