The public at large has a vested interest in seeing who's ushering candidates into public office.
They're not and quite frankly, it should be nobody's business who one decides to support politically.
Gotta love the emotionally fragile people that won't frequent an establishment based on ones political party affiliation. Life must be daily struggle for you folks. LOL
The list published was only the major contributors, donating the maximum allowable to a political campaign. Not some fella giving 100 bucks.
In my opinion, that list of major contributors deserves to be printed in the newspaper, and on media sites all the time.
People who donate to presidential campaigns shouldn't be ashamed of their choice to do so. If they are, well, maybe don't donate an enormous amount?

nothing stopping you from posting who you've donated to politically and where your employed as Castro did.
While the information is available elsewhere, Castro has placed himself
in a vulnerable postion should something violent happen to any of those donors or establishments.
It was a stupid thing to do, particularly at a time of heightened emotions and a bevy of copycats ready to get their 15 minutes of fame.
So you won’t go to a Pappas restaurant because of the political party they support? I feel everyone has a right to support whoever they want. If I like their product, I’ll support it even if I don’t agree with their politics.
Every business has a right to support whomever they choose. So do I.
My quarrel with Shipley and Pappas nothing to do with their politics. It has everything to do with decisions to exploit people trying to make a living. To the point of paying 1.75 million in fines for transporting illegal employees from one town to another when they knew the border patrol was coming. The other forfeited over a million dollars in property, houses and a warehouse, where illegals worked and lived. The employees were treated so badly, and sexually harassed they filed a complaint with the EEOC and won.
I also don't not buy stock in companies who pay so little their employees have to get food stamps.
Why spend money on a company that exploits their employees and fellow citizens just because they produce a good product?
I'm not giving up a little piece of humanity for a dinner or a donut I could get anywhere.

No struggle here. It is a hobby.
What a sad life one must have to not care about anyone or anything but their own comfort.
We’ve already addressed that it’s public record.
But when an elected official compiles a list of donors for the opposite party and lists them out in public along with a call to admonish them, it’s something entirely different. And entirely unethical.
And when Trump uses his position as president to attack people, try to get them fired, etc. that is fine? Why the double standard? And let’s be clear we are talking about non-politicians he will attack of twitter, and he takes zero responsibility when his followers harass and threaten them even after he tweets about them.

You can say it's nobody's business, but in fact, legally, it's everybody's business. It's public information.
Way back in the day when I helped sell T-shirts to support a political candidate, every single t-shirt buyer had to disclose who they were, as donors.
You may wish political contributions were anonymous, but they aren't, especially at the very highest level as the subject of this thread.
