Yeah, this is completely wrong. https://www.protocol.com/tech-company-pacs-2019-2020

"Official" donations from the companies split them 50/50 between the major parties while worker donations are almost 99% Democrat. SVB itself primarily donated to Democrats, despite it being maligned as "libertarian".

One can't be friends with a PAC. Thiel has donated 10+ million dollars to people who would treat those like himself as second class citizens as documented in the GOP political platforms.

Sigh, when will the left learn this rhetoric only destroys the country, it doesn’t help them win more.

This rhetoric is based on the GOP platform which he supports. It is acceptable to judge people based on what they support is it not?

To what end? Do you believe you’re doing something good or bad? The result is the same however, we become more divided. Parent didn’t teach me anything, just that they’re politically intolerant. What good does this do for the country or does it only serve to divide us more?

Continuing to justify “judging” others only results in the destruction of the country. Political parties are the problem. You’ll change nothing though, that’s for sure.

Same. I'm a veteran that's donated to (and votes, other than Libertarian) Democrat causes and organizations for a while. Some of us join a given thing to change it. The GOP also can't ignore Peter Theil's acumen, power, or money and frankly if he were to run on a left-Libertarian platform I doubt Democrats would treat him very well.
