Funny, Alphabet donates slightly more to Republicans through its corporate PAC, even though Alphabet employees donate almost 99% to democrats.

I have no idea how the "liberal tech company" meme started, but it is clearly not based in fact. Like any big corps, they don't care about red or blue, they care about green and will donate to whoever they think will help their bottom line, right now, Republicans are in power and they tend to favor big business in general, so this makes complete sense.

    I find it fascinating how people can say the things OP said while the fact you point out is right before their eyes and they are still utterly unable to see or comprehend (I don't know) what is right before their eyes. What people also do not understand is that the kind of rearing and breeding of a body of human resources that is totally biased in a single direction is really just a manifestation of the corporate will. Where the corporate PAC spreads its money is more like lubrication to enable their will, but the human resources that are all bred to think and say and act the same way, is all done to enable the corporate will. And that corporate will both feeds of and demands that more human resources be imported that are harvested from foreign countries; and greasing all wheels of Congress equally is how they enact that. It's equally impressive how not just Google, has managed to ensnare people in a kind of mental trap or illusion, where serving and worshiping immoral and unethical corporate interests is interpreted as good through a kind of Faustian bargain. We seem to actually be witnessing a kind of birth of a religion of world dominating corporations, an entity with no moral constraints or code beyond it's own will and expression at the whims of its corporate shamans and muftis.

  Because of all the hyper-vocal liberal activism in tech by employees I would guess.

  The upper management will use shareholders money to increase their own power at the expense of employees and shareholders. The Republican party is the one that supports looting public corporations. So that's who they give money to.
