The other reason I totally agree with this is because there is always the unwritten rule that what a company can support politically is pretty much always in service to its bottom line. I mean, just look at Google, whose employees are known for being especially politically active. Except, that is, when it comes to the negative societal effect of large monopolies (there was a recent HN discussion about this). People at Google know what pays their (very large) salaries.
We don't get into politics until we need an emergency building permit approval at which point we will make a donation to the mayor's campaign even if he is a big Trump supporter and says things directly opposite of all the diversity meetings we have been going to over the past year.
