Its coinbase's money though? Are they not supposed to be able to specify how their own money is used? I'm just not sure I understand what the objection is. I don't endorse it but I don't see how this is inconsistent or hypocritical or legalized bribery or whatever

I mean, yes they can use their money however they want, its their right. All I’m saying is that “No politics” isn’t actually no politics, and I’m generally hesitant to work for or do business with any company who claims to have a no politics rule, especially if they participate in politics to further their personal interests. What it actually means is they will end up supporting mostly shady politicians who can’t get small donors to support them.
