Both political parties in the US receive exorbitant amounts of donations from corporations and the very rich. A close look at the money trail shows which sections of capital favor Republicans and Democrats, respectively.

    A recent Financial Times report quotes Palantir executive Alex Karp, a Silicon Valley bigwig who still backs Democrats but whose loyalty is wavering: “Political correctness in the party is a huge problem, the Democrats can’t yet understand the cost of it.” [emphasis added]

    What I love about anyone who complains about “political correctness” is that it fundamentally frames it as being simply performative rather than “hey, don’t be an asshole”. It never seems to occur to them that some people honestly feel you shouldn’t be a dick, and instead just think people are doing it as virtue signaling. Sadly that kind of lack of empathy is rife with the tech bros.

    Possibly the most neutral thing this crap site has farted out this election cycle. Good for them.
