Apple has repeatedly displayed a strong bias towards Bay Area progressive politics It's Apple. Two hippies started the company. They wore jeans to work, and positioned themselves in opposition to stodgy, corporate IBM (and later Microsoft). They marketed their products to students and creatives. Apple today is so huge that much of that progressive bent is gone, but an Apple that vociferously spurned the left would be different a company.
