For anyone else wondering, the article seems to suggest that it's not Google donating, but the employees:

> From 2004 to 2017, $15 million donated by employees of Google and its related companies went to Democrats, and just $1.6 million went to Republicans. Alphabet was created in 2015 as an umbrella company for these companies.

The article's source [1] verifies that the data is about the companies' employees, not the companies themselves.
