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.

Yes, they do.

Liberal politics are center-right.

They might, at which point tech companies (and other big firms) would be less likely to support them.
Even if you're just coming at it from a place of power politics.. you think MORE packing of liberals into fewer and fewer areas is going to swing it for us? If tech companies were serious about liberal politics, they'd be opening big offices in TX and OH. Could solidify the blue wall for a generation with a few 10k people.
