Yeah, corporate executives aren’t filling out a donation form with their corporation listed on it.
They’re sending their donations anonymously and privately to PACs for both parties so they can be owed favors when it’s time to either A) get a huge tax break or B) choose which one or two senators will block the promised attempt to increase their taxes.
Aside from that, they don’t care about the poor man’s squabbles about racism or fascism or rights or dignity or whatever else we plebs think is important. Literally nothing matters to them except making and keeping profit. They make sure they can do that whichever way an election goes. That’s the whole point of “dark money” - so apps like this can’t make candidates blush.
