YSK: There is a website (app too) that shows what political parties companies support (if any)
At Goods Unite Us, we run political background checks on thousands of brands and companies so you can put your money where your vote is.

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.
Your vote is yours to throw away if you want to.
But it's kind of an insult to everyone who fought to let you do that.
No, what is an insult is the American electoral system where at the end of the day, your individual vote means nothing. Your so called representatives do not work for you. They only represent you only paper. They are there to enrich themselves through corporate dollar and stocks, because capitalism and individualism.
The trick is to pick the lesser of the two evils.
50 years of that has produced an evil so large we don't even recognize evil any longer.
And not voting will solve that how exactly?
Doesnt hurt, doesnt help. Voting is more an illusion of participation, complete with an "I Voted" participation trophy.
Inaction is worse than picking the lesser of two evils.
My inaction isnt getting Palestinians killed, my inaction hasnt caused the highest spike in homelessness ever seen, my inaction isnt causing a rise in suicides, my inaction isnt causing stagnant wages. If allowing the deaths of brown people is seen as the lesser evil then there is a serious problem with the mental health and empathy of Americans. If the tables were turned and Trump was currently in the WH, liberals would be calling out all the injustices they are currently turning a blind eye to. But the lesser evil they accept year after year, decade after decade, has grown so enormous they can no longer see evil for what it is. They have become the evil they claimed they were voting against
Yes it has.
I have not attributed to the harm being created by the donor class. People that support and defend the donor class have.
What liberals do you see that aren't making a fuss right now? Are you under a rock?
Making a fuss then electing the same rightwing pieces of shit that got us into this situation and dont represent us isnt progress, its surrender
People here missing my point: vote with your wallets!
The issue with that sentiment is that a significant amount of the population simply can't afford to be picky. They buy the cheapest available version of whatever they need because that's what they can afford. All of the power of consumer choice is slowly being stripped away as more and more people are pushed into poverty, and that's by design.
