Everybody does it, but I still think that businesses fundraising for political activity should basically be regarded as corruption.

Right. So perhaps Mike Bloomberg is corrupt then. Oh dear.

You can also see how using 'guilt by association' here makes no sense with Oracle if we keep thinking that 'Bloomberg LP is supporting Biden.'
(indeed, this is why Trump's "drain the swamp" pitch was so effective, despite being even more corrupt!)
Yes, perhaps. Perhaps also the Pacific Ocean has some water and perhaps the sky is above the land and perhaps the Sun rises is the East.
Does anyone not think Bloomberg is corrupt?

But the argument here wasn't guilt by association—that some one was bad because they were associated with someone else that is bad.
It was that an action was taken to appeal to Trump by dealing with a firm known to be associated with and presumed to be favored by him. No one is guilty by association in that presentation.
