Tl;dr they all support both sides so no matter the election they always get what they want.
-
For tax purposes and to lobby for pet projects, yes they lobby both sides. Some corporations lobby for ideological issues. You will find that the vast majority of them get republican support. Plenty of not-for-profits lobby the left as well but you're not buying their products and paying for ideologies you may not agree with.
-
It's why I stopped voting, because everybody else is voting for either side any way.

There is 0 reason this should be an app. Stop making shitty apps and just have proper websites.
-
To be fair you can get to the list on the site.
-
-
You should know that this app has a shit ton of trackers and ads .... GTFO with that shit
-
Doesn't say it, but looks like it's USA only.
-
Companies openly giving money to politicians is USA only. In other countries it's bribery and corruption.
-
Per Anthony Kennedy and a completely fair and impartial republiQan-aligned Supreme Court, money is just another word for free speech.
Corporations are people, my friend.

Be that as it may, not mentioning which nation the topic applies to enforces the notion that the US is the default if no other context is given.

PSA: You can make a shortcut and place it on your home screen with most mobile browsers, on Android, and, as far as I know, on iOS. Don't let people trick you into installing apps for things websites can do.

My man!

It seems to be based on the contributions of employees not the company itself. I looked up a huge tech company and it said Bernie Sanders was the number one politician supported. That's absolutely ridiculous. Who cares what employees at a company support? Do they control any of the money used for lobbying?
-
It is, frustratingly.

This site would be fantastic if they supplied product lists and alternatives.
-
Great site! Thanks for sharing.
Most of the companies I've looked up so far are donating pretty equally to both parties. Except Honda, they're pretty heavily invested in the Democrat party.
Edit: I found one with a perfect score! Kawasaki motors. That's great, because I love their bikes!

Can anyone see the information on this page?
https://www.goodsuniteus.com/brands/#/brand/google
Whatever OS or browser I use, with or without VPN, it's just a blank page. Same for Alphabet Inc.
Any other brand just shows up like normal.

Thank you! Good job Google!

All 3 major hardware stores (Home Depot, Lowe's, & Ace's) donate more to Republicans. Aside from locally owned small businesses, any idea where else to go?
-
Every company I've looked up so far donates pretty evenly split to both parties, usually slightly favoring the Republicans, including the ones you listed. The only company I've found that is heavily Democrat is Honda. Sorry, that doesn't answer your question, but the point I was making is that they are funding both parties. What does that tell you? That they don't really care who is in charge. They only care that they have influence over whoever is in charge.

Guess it's time to stop shopping at Haliburton.

No more Goldman Sachs socks for me.

Major League Baseball?
Shit.

Want everything in your life to be political? There’s a lens for that!
-
Politics does influence almost every aspect of life whether we think about it or not.
Especially for people in minority groups, where sometimes simply existing as they are is political enough.
-
Chemistry influences every aspect of our lives whether we think about it or not. Gravity does too. As does complexity and information theory, and the English language, and our clothing, and the fact we tend to build architecture in rectilinear shapes.
All of these things are ubiquitous things that permeate everything whether you think about them or not.
Choosing to think about them is called a “lens”.
-
Right. Concept of “lens”

Or, you can have sand

The horror that it is when I don't want to indirectly support policies I don't agree with.
-
I bet you probably don’t want to help mass-murdering pedophiles either but here you are exhaling CO2 which will get incorporated into a plant that some mass murdering pedophile will eat.
Just draw in your sphere of concern to that which you can actually affect with a reasonable degree of predictive accuracy.
This way you kill two birds with one stone: you maximize the amount of actual good you create, while minimizing the sort of mental allergic reactions that come from chasing after smaller and smaller, more and more distant and ambiguous causal connections to global events.

You literally can't even love who you want without it being political; religion, race, gender, sex, class/caste, etc. have all been used by autocratic and democratic governments to prohibit people from falling in love, having consensual relationships, and/or starting a family.
-
You can’t love who you want to live without a lot of neurological activity too. So neurology is a lens you could view love through. So is religion, chemistry, math, game theory, philosophy, sports, evolutionary theory, etc
People reading this thread: if you do not understand what the concept of a “lens” is in this context, please stop skipping over that fact. Either go look it up, or admit you don’t know. Don’t just barrel forward ignoring my point.

Capitalism and it's exploitation is bipartisan.

Costco supports Democrat. Now I like them more.

Praise Iteus!

The website doesn't seem to load for me. It briefly shows the info for a split second but replaces it with a white screen.

Excellent. My insurance provider donates to shitty Republicans and I have zero choice to switch companies.
