If you work for one of these companies, write your CEO demanding that they shut down the corporate political action committee. Apple did it and is doing fine; Google, Amazon and Facebook can, too. And throw some of their money at the Great Slate!https://secure.actblue.com/donate/great_slate …

It's important to stress that this isn't just Musk. Facebook PAC has made the maximum allowable payment to Devin Nunes (!), Google has bankrolled Ted Cruz. Look into the pockets of the worst racist, gay-bashing Republican congressman and you will find tech industry money.

This is just a guess, but I think Amazon is probably opposing that particular progressive voice for change because they don't approve of progressive voices for change in general.

You just said that their workers supported her. I assume it's something like a corporate instinct.
