Looking at the site source, it uses both React (Facebook, complete with copyright notice), Google Analytics, Google CDN for jQuery, Google Fonts, and Youtube iframe for some reason.

Perhaps these are ironic inclusions meant to highlight how hard it is to live without Facebook and Google.

It's an election year. Breaking up tech monopolies polled well among millennials. This is a phishing net for contact information.

I doubt it. The probable story is that they outsourced their website to some 3rd party firm to build, since they're a policy organization not a tech organization. That 3rd party probably based the site off a pre-existing design of theirs that used those inclusions, rather than build a custom Mister-Gotcha-immune site.
