Political Data Inc (PDI), a major California political data firm, officially shut its doors on all Republicans.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the past three decades, Political Data Inc. has supplied campaign data to both parties, but in February, they unexpectedly announced that from now on they will only work with Democrats and \u201cprogressives.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Paul Mitchell, vice president of PDI, this decision had already been contemplated for several years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Democrats already have a large advantage in California voter registration, but that isn\u2019t enough. Big tech and Democrats will continue to try and \u201ccancel\u201d Republicans in any way they can. Gone are the days of free and fair completion, liberals are trying to completely eliminate any competition whatsoever.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mitchell stated that the reason for this decision was due to the necessity of partnering with tech companies, most of which are run by Democrats. According to Mitchell, this was only a business decision.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a business decision, but ideologically, if pushed to choose, this is the way we went,\u201d Mitchell said.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Los Angeles-based Democratic political consultant, Garry South said he was delighted by the decision. \u201cIf Republicans and far-right conspiracy-mongers want to collect voter information, they can now damn well find another firm,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This is the problem. Democrats are working to cancel Republicans by any means necessary, and their reasoning is that \u2018all Republicans are racists, conspiracy theorists, homophobes, etc.\u2019 In reality, this couldn\u2019t be further from the truth, but it will not stop Democrats from pushing that narrative to eliminate their competition.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, many Republican candidates and organizations were prepared for this and have already begun working with other firms.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, 21st century Cancel Culture is dangerous and does not benefit anyone except the woke liberal mob. With massive companies like Facebook, Twitter, Google, and now PDI working as hard as they can to shut out Republicans, we will have to work just as hard to make sure they are unsuccessful.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Elina Linner Big tech and big corporations are continuing to attempt to \u201ccancel\u201d and hurt Republicans in any way they can.
