Follow the money, as they say. Dollar amounts only copied out of the article. Italic used for easier visual.

There are obvious reasons why Twitter and Facebook are prime targets in the Big Tech equation, but for some unfounded reason Apple and Microsoft are near golden-children in conservative circles.

IBM is kinda surprising. If you would have asked me which organization gave a larger percentage of employee contributions to Republicans, IBM or Facebook, I would have picked IBM all day long.

Nope. Not are they more homogeneous in their liberalness, but they’re also given HUGE sums of money.

They shouldn’t be. They’re traitors.

It’s all about HR, the powerful and feared group of women, usually liberal to radical Left, in large corporations these days.

A Conservative wants a job in one of those places they need to be off all social media. If not, their accounts better be nothing but funny animal videos.

Otherwise the liberal witches in HR won’t give them a chance.

Sorry sir/mam, we’ve found someone more qualified.

My reservation about comparing a company’s employee donations to political parties is this. When you give money to a Democratic politician it immediately looses its value. /semi-sarc

Proverbs 17:16 comes to mind.

Making all those donations to Dems, so Dems can gain power, and then take *more* from them.

Useful idiots.

Increasingly, our economic system is Fascism, which is also called Corporatism. It is the marriage of State and non-State-owned Corporations.

Corporations benefit from this system, so they support the politicians that will keep it going.

The “Republicans” they donate to are probably the Romney variety.

My wife works for one of these top 10 companies. She has to tread very lightly and avoid any and all political based conversations. They will terminate you one way or the other if you are known to be conservative.

“employees’ political donations”

Now how would somebody get that data? I don’t recall candidate or party donation sites asking “Where do you work?”

I’d like to find a cloud services provider that is not impossibly woke. Maybe Digital Ocean or Oracle are the closest.

AWS and Google Cloud are hard to beat as far as service and cost. (Until they shut you down.)

They printed this article so that leftists will attack any company that even comes close to donating any significant amount of money to Republicans.

It’s about under 55 employed folks

They are simply more liberal even if white

Age and rural or urban are determinants

As much as which tech

Now some jobs do indicate conservatism....oil sector and defense I would think
