Given that you seem to be incorrect on the second part, the rest of your statement falls apart. You seem to have a severe misunderstanding of math, 97% of donations went to Democrats. Not 97% of employees donated to Democrats. If you can do basic napkin math, this means if you had one leader, manager or whatever be a particularly prolific donator they could crowd out the entire company in terms of donations. This has zero actual bearing on how much influence the company as a whole has, unless you want to argue that it's illegal for private individuals to ever donate to a political party under fear of biasing their company.

Though given that you've made this mistaken point multiple times now I don't think you actually care and are just pushing a narrative here.

I never said 97% of Twitter employees donated to the Democrats?

You sure it’s me pushing an agenda?

> At least using donations as a metric, 97%+ of Twitter employees support the Democrats

This is a literal quote from the post I was just responding to.

Right, please highlight the statement in that quote that says “97% of Twitter employees donated to the Democrats”.

It doesn’t say that.
