Are we supposed to be up in arms about this?
> 66 different federal political action campaigns (PACs), nearly half of which are supporting Republicans.
Seems balanced to me.

  Balanced, sure. Why is 50/50 ethically coherent?

    The goal is to get a seat at the table, not tip the scale.
    Even if the government is unethical, it's still a good idea to push for good policy (unless you're an accelerationist).
    Obviously we're talking about businesses here so what they are pushing for is probably ethically neutral in itself. But supporting everyone equally seems like the least bad option.
