American conservatives and business interests have been doing their damndest to make sure it does. They've already done so to Australia. Give it time. Capitalism will eventually lead to polarization, because polarization is profitable.

Why do you think business is ran only by conservatives? it's the liberals who spend all the money though I agree regarding capitalism as a "whole".
But isn't this con blame game con what you said about joe biden's election until you found out a year later they are in fact changing his diapers? just saying man there's a better way to discharge energy.

I recommend spelunking.

7. CONCLUSION
The CEOs of public companies who preside over organizations that own most
of the productive assets of the American economy have substantial influence on
the political spending of their companies, on policymaking, and on the policy
discourse. In this article, we have carried out a systematic empirical analysis of
the political preferences of the CEOs of S&P 1500 companies, which represent
90 percent of the market value of U.S. public companies.
Our analysis has shown that the CEOs disproportionately display proRepublican preferences. We have also analyzed the association of CEO political
preferences with their company’s region, size, and industry as well as with the
gender of the CEO. Finally, we have documented that firms led by Republicanleaning CEOs tend to be less transparent with respect to their political spending.
The article has also outlined the implications of our analysis and findings.
These findings should be useful for understanding the political process and the
effect of corporate political spending on it for assessing the policy input and
advice provided by CEOs, and for understanding corporate decisions. Further
research should expand the scope of the analysis and investigate the potential
relationships of CEO political preferences with a wide range of corporate policies and practices. We hope that our work would lead to recognition of the
partisan preferences of public-company CEOs, and that it would provide a
starting p
