Tech companies are serious about liberal politics.

Part of that is ensuring they keep things as center to slightly right as possible and toss some money at social causes to keep their rep.

If the democrats actually won consistently they might start to shift left. These companies do not want a strengthened left wing in the US.

Liberal politics are center-right.

They might, at which point tech companies (and other big firms) would be less likely to support them.
