The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.



Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.

Tl;dr they all support both sides so no matter the election they always get what they want.

[–] ganksy@lemmy.world 20 points 7 months ago

For tax purposes and to lobby for pet projects, yes they lobby both sides. Some corporations lobby for ideological issues. You will find that the vast majority of them get republican support. Plenty of not-for-profits lobby the left as well but you're not buying their products and paying for ideologies you may not agree with.

There is 0 reason this should be an app. Stop making shitty apps and just have proper websites.

[–] dan1101@lemm.ee 11 points 7 months ago

To be fair you can get to the list on the site.

[–] EpicFailGuy@lemmy.world 49 points 7 months ago

You should know that this app has a shit ton of trackers and ads .... GTFO with that shit

[–] r_13@lemmy.world 31 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Politicians should wear company logos like racing drivers so we know who they are sponsored by.

Second time I've seen someone mention Mystery Men in three days. This is Amazing

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

It's an amazing movie

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

You're Amazing

[–] EinfachUnersetzlich@lemm.ee 25 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Doesn't say it, but looks like it's USA only.

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 5 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Companies openly giving money to politicians is USA only. In other countries it's bribery and corruption.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Per Anthony Kennedy and a completely fair and impartial republiQan-aligned Supreme Court, money is just another word for free speech.

Corporations are people, my friend.

[–] dalekcaan@lemm.ee 7 points 7 months ago

Unless they're responsible for a crime, then suddenly they're a faceless abstraction, and you can't charge those with anything silly!

[–] root_beer@midwest.social 1 points 7 months ago

It’s the only way I support the death penalty, it’s just too bad none of them have been condemned

[–] Wootz@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Be that as it may, not mentioning which nation the topic applies to enforces the notion that the US is the default if no other context is given.

PSA: You can make a shortcut and place it on your home screen with most mobile browsers, on Android, and, as far as I know, on iOS. Don't let people trick you into installing apps for things websites can do.

This site would be fantastic if they supplied product lists and alternatives.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Great site! Thanks for sharing.

Most of the companies I've looked up so far are donating pretty equally to both parties. Except Honda, they're pretty heavily invested in the Democrat party.

Edit: I found one with a perfect score! Kawasaki motors. That's great, because I love their bikes!

Guess it's time to stop shopping at Haliburton.

[–] dan1101@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

No more Goldman Sachs socks for me.

[–] UckyBon@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Can anyone see the information on this page?

https://www.goodsuniteus.com/brands/#/brand/google

Whatever OS or browser I use, with or without VPN, it's just a blank page. Same for Alphabet Inc.

Any other brand just shows up like normal.

[–] HottieAutie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

All 3 major hardware stores (Home Depot, Lowe's, & Ace's) donate more to Republicans. Aside from locally owned small businesses, any idea where else to go?

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Every company I've looked up so far donates pretty evenly split to both parties, usually slightly favoring the Republicans, including the ones you listed. The only company I've found that is heavily Democrat is Honda. Sorry, that doesn't answer your question, but the point I was making is that they are funding both parties. What does that tell you? That they don't really care who is in charge. They only care that they have influence over whoever is in charge.

[–] HottieAutie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Coscto is like 98% Democrats 🙂

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Costco seems like one of the last companies that hasn't completely sold its soul to the devil.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Major League Baseball?

Shit.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago (6 children)

Want everything in your life to be political? There’s a lens for that!

[–] otp@sh.itjust.works 15 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Politics does influence almost every aspect of life whether we think about it or not.

Especially for people in minority groups, where sometimes simply existing as they are is political enough.

Or, you can have sand

The horror that it is when I don't want to indirectly support policies I don't agree with.
