29. That app is cherry picking old data from OpenSecrets.

Paul Ryan has not run since 2016, for example.

In the last 3 cycles, 2020, 2022, and 2024, the vast majority of contributions from individuals at Urban Outfitters have went to Democratic candidates.

Also, it is problematic to cast blame on entire companies in general for the actions of some of their employees.

I am sorry, but I am going to have to give a hard pass to that app that list, and that video.

Cheers,

Cel

Are these individual donations from employees who happen to work at these companies? tritsofme Nov 2024 #6

I don't believe individual donations TiberiusB Nov 2024 #7

Yes, individual donations over $200 are public. When you donate they ask for your employer. tritsofme Nov 2024 #9

I looked up Urban Outfitters and the record does not back up the YT video claims for 2020, 2022, and 2024. Celerity Dec 2024 #15

For the record, the Goods Unite Us App shows Urban Outfitters with 86% of their donations to Republicans. Wiz Imp Dec 2024 #23

Does it give the source link for that? OpenSecrets is a very well respected reference site. Celerity Dec 2024 #24

It says 100% of donations were from senior employees, none from the company itself. Wiz Imp Dec 2024 #25
