7 big companies pledge not to donate to Republican "sedition caucus" in 2022

Story.

Seven top US companies including Microsoft, American Express, and Airbnb have pledged not to donate to any Republican election objectors in 2022.

Popular Information contacted 183 companies asking if they would withhold donations to the 147 GOP lawmakers who voted against certifying Joe Biden's 2020 election win – a group that has been referred to as the "Sedition Caucus."

Microsoft told Popular Information: "We are committed to our pledge." American Express previously told the publication that its PAC would never donate to any of the 147 election objectors again.

The four other companies to make the no-donations pledge are Dow, BASF, Eversource Energy, and Lyft.

Companies including NRG Energy and Marriott International didn't make the pledge directly but told Popular Information they'd keep their donation suspensions in place for the time being.

Popular Information reported that General Electric previously said it wouldn't donate to Sedition Caucus members in 2022, but that it had supported them indirectly by funding the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) and the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC).

After a mob of pro-Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, to try to prevent Congress certifying Biden's election win, many top US companies scrambled to cut ties with the 147 GOP lawmakers who voted against the result.

Any Pubs who feel outraged by this, should focus their outrage on the fact that it matters. Why should corporations have so much influence on elections?!

Progressive leftists generally don't get to be CEOs. And the pledge they're making here ain't "leftist politics." All they're saying is, they won't support any candidate who does not respect constitutional processes. Would you?!

No but lots of CEO's at the top turn into champaign socialist because they see an opportunity to get more power/money out of the authoritarianism of it.

Feel free to explain how these companies fit your statement

That's already started with AmEx. Their profits dropped 53% and they have slipped 16 places in the Fortune 500.

Get woke, go broke.

This almost sounds as if you
1. Have a source for this information and
2. Have proper comparison to other companies which show that this is outside the industry average.
 
The question is would these companies otherwise not donated
and that answer is probably yes because in the money breakdowns
I have yet to see a list where Republicans garnered more from Big
Business than do Democrat candidates. For some reason, business
feels that a little protection money is in order...

The Fortune 500 is a good source.

That's the real point. Typically they sweeten everyone's pot so they'll be well remembered when it comes legislation time.

The other thing is that it all balances out in the end. For every company in a given sector that donates to the democrats there's a corresponding company in that sector that donates republican. While legislation can, and does, punish/reward various sectors of the economy specific companies are rarely singled out due to obvious constitutional issues when congress makes those attempts. Occasionally there are exceptions and should the republicans take the White House along with both houses of congress in 2024 the social media folks better watch out.

Oh I do...there's no proof that correlates their decline with their political activity and certainly not any evidence that the industry as a whole isn't also going through similar declines.

But since you made the claim, I assume you had evidence to back it up that you might share

Thanks for confirming you don't.

Individual donor lists tell a different story about what the ultra-wealthy do.

I think that it's largely driven by guilt.

I think the Republicans can be reliably relied upon
to shoot themselves in the foot at the first and every opportunity.
They are simply not as disciplined and ruthless as Democrat rank and file...

Pretty self explanatory.

They're run by leftist, and they won't support the right.

Headline news I tell ya!!!

I think your should make your statement more accurate...."go woke, go through the same decline as everyone else in your industry."
 
I've looked it up so many times in the past that I now just treat it as a priori...

and it doesn't match his imaginings...

Just a hunch. ;) ;)

I do. There's no evidence that any "boycott" is impacting the company at all.

Certainly if your claim is correct, it would be easy for you to demonstrate

There is no evidence that any such boycott is impacting the company in any way
