Silicon Valley software engineers seem more loyal to the left wing of the Democratic Party than to their own employers.

US presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren, who has called for breaking up Facebook, Amazon and Google, raised more than US$173,000 (RM723,918) from tech industry employees in the third quarter, according to Bloomberg News’ analysis of public data on political contributions from employees at 10 large tech companies.
