Politics and the world has changed drastically over the last decade with the left having moved even more left making anyone who is conservative an enemy. Politics should never have such extreme views which will ultimately alienate the public. There is no happy medium down the middle anymore.

This is quite interesting to see who is backing who in the upcoming US Elections. This list excludes big money donations from certain companies and individuals like Musk supporting Trump not only financially but by also allowing freedom of speech on X (Twitter).

The Democrats not having controls at Twitter is the big difference between 2020 and 2024. If The Democrats had Twitter then they would have controlled the news entirely as they have Google, Microsoft, YouTube and FaceBook along with the majority of mainstream media.

What is interesting to see is a few of the companies are double dipping by backing each candidate so whatever the outcome they are still seen as a supporter. The banks along with the pharmaceuticals seem to favor the Democrats whilst the big businesses of the airlines is backing the Republicans. The Democrats have Hollywood, Wall Street and Silicon Valley so the names we see backing them here are kind of expected.

Certain businesses do not want Trump back into power due to the taxes he has imposed on China in the past and the likes of Apple, Amazon and Microsoft would be affected using China as their primary shopping basket or base for manufacturing.

Apple recently received a large tax bill from the EU which dates back to 2016 forcing them to back pay taxes owed to the tune of €13 billion. Trump would help them, but he would demand they return to the US instead of paying taxes into the EU coffers so one can see their logic in supporting the Democrats.

The pharmaceuticals will not be getting an easy ride either if the Republicans get back in and would definitely prefer the protection of the Democrats.

Trump is a businessman so the DEI woke practice many companies have been pushing will also receive very little support and sympathy. Companies like Boeing and Google have gone so far left they are unrecognizable from where they first started out. Google in particular has played a big role with this election through their search engines favoring the Democrats.

The easy ride certain businesses have had over the last 4 years will definitely change if Trump and the Republicans get back in. The difference seems to be Trump is for America and the Democrats are for certain members including themselves and not the people of the country they have been governing.

I am in favor of neither candidate as I feel America could have done so much better as this does not just affect the American people, but everyone worldwide. As an outsider I would have to go with Trump due to the team he has in place and if the world has any chance of getting back to normality changing and moving away from the woke nonsense. The world needs this more than ever and so much is at stake here. No one has been pushing back and things that would never have been allowed have been happening for years already.

I think we can all be grateful that Musk took over Twitter as it has remained a free speech platform unlike everything else. You know Twitter is working when you have the UK Labor Government trying to clamp down on the truth being told that does not fit their narratives.

WTF, Wells Fargo is supporting both, but not equally 😂
Have you noticed?

Yes lol. Placing a bet on each and a few others have done the same as well.

They're not the only ones. It's a practice to support both candidates, with a higher amount to the one you'd prefer, but also something for the other one so they won't hold it against you, if they win.

I've never paid attention to it. But it's funny.

That's an interesting side-by-side to see. I guess if that would be a stake-weighted vote (say, by the market cap of the donors), the vote would have been decided long time ago.

I also think neither candidate is really good but Trump would probably be the better alternative for economy and freedom rights. But well, they are telling stories like crazy before the election, we will see what will be implemented afterwards. 😏🤷🏼‍♂️

Yes wait and see and also agree the better of the worst would be Trump. They need to come up with some decent candidates and get both parties away from the crazy stuff they have been pushing. People want stability and not to be fed nonsense because the lies is what is killing them. Biden as been a shocker and has been unfit for years leading into the question who is running the show. When you vote for people you want them working on your behalf and not someone else telling them what to do. The world is a worse place for what is happening now. I feel sorry for the American people with what their country is being turned into.

with the left having moved even more left making anyone who is conservative an enemy

The right is the exact same way. It's not a one sided thing like many people try to make it out to be. This actually all started back several elections ago with Obama with the right endlessly attacking him. It's been a downhill road since then.

Yes there is no middle ground which both parties used to over lap on some points. Now they are so far apart what does one do as the middle ground is not there anymore so you are either considered woke or racist which is not true for the vast majority?

It's not true no. The partisan stuff has gotten out of control over here and we need an alternative to the two party system, but most people are just trying to live their lives. The rhetoric outside of the US seems to have gone off the rails.

Yes because the rest of the world needs a strong US Government and more so now than ever before. In the past it did not make much difference which party was in or out for those around the world as it offered strength. I agree having an alternative party would be far better because when you have two bad options you are screwed. A third option would make the other two main parties get back on track and look after putting the country first. They seem to have lost their way and it is personal and should never be like that.

I think there is a better chance of a third option popping up than the two getting back on track.

Donald Trump 👍🏻👍🏻😊
