The only get donations for their campaigns. If tech companies give evenly to both parties, it wouldn't matter to politicians if those donations stopped. If one party gets more than the other, one party would gain, relatively, if donations became illegal.

It's gotten so bad they are actively trying to undermine democracy in every imaginable way, including opposing any constraints on campaign donations and even the regular application of the few safeguards left after Citizen United.
