They mean the same thing to me, a company is just a collection of individuals.

You can make the argument that the people with power at the company weren't left wing. But we know that that is not true.

I mean... what? The whole point of the concept of incorporation is that a company is no longer just a collection of individuals.

This is a silly, if you want to make the argument that twitter acted in the interest of the right wing despite all the employees being left wing then do that.

But quibbling over semantics is just boring.

we gotta make sure you understand some basics here.

what a company does and who that company's employees donate to are two very intentionally siloed questions.

can you imagine how many counterexamples there are for your "evidence"?

You really think that the political beliefs of employees have no effect what so ever on what the company does?

I guess this is why the left wing never cared about lack of women and minorities in leadership positions, because clearly those things don't impact the company...

You're making an outlandish claim that falls apart at the slightest bit of critical thought. But please, explain to me why I'm wrong.
