Agreed. Mozilla as a tech company should stay out of politics IMO. "Picking" a political side will alienate at least 50% of the users (if not more as the left typically is < 50%). As a loyal user for years and contributor to Firefox I will start looking for tech somewhere else.
The tendencies in the US of tech companies coming out of their political closets is disturbing, at best. It worries me that this is being normalized and that it starts to lean toward corporatism as well in some cases.

- stemcc 9y agoLeftist != socialist, especially in the United States where in context someone like Justice John Roberts is seen as a moderate, and most politically mainstream democrats (pre Bernie) would be considered if not rightwing, at least centrist leaning toward conservative in many other Western countries.
- forapurpose 9y agoI generally agree, but Roberts is certainly considered to be conservative, just not all the way to the right like Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch.
