I wasn't sharing my opinion on the CEO's post as a whole, just correcting the misinformation that PP_BOY_ posted.
I provided a link to the CEO's post so anyone (like you) could get the full context.
For me, there's a huge difference between supporting Trump's reelection and supporting the nomination of someone who the CEO believes (even incorrectly) will promote antitrust regulation.
For what it's worth, I agree with you that both parties have in many ways prioritized the interests of big tech over the citizens they're supposed to serve. Moreover, I believe Democrats have been much better champions of things that favor consumers, such as Net Neutrality. Trump's administration gutted the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) for heaven's sake.
Obviously, I disagree with the CEO's take in his tweet. But that's no reason to allow misinformation to spread. I'd much rather everyone see the tweet and form their own opinions.
