Eliezers post about how politics is the mind-killer is about the idea that if you talk in a non-political post about politics, you make it a lot harder for your reader to engage with the non-political part of your post.
The question about whether or not to donate money to political candidates is inherently a political question.
DanielFilan is essentially saying that even so, he thinks Trump is bad, people should still be wary about making certain donations for Democrats to oppose Trump.
That’s not true, the US is not equally governed by Republicans and Democrats at the same time with Republicans and Democrats always acting the same. The reason that this post exists is likely downstream of how the Trump administration manages hiring for positions.
While not specified in this post, and me not knowing the exact ground reality, it’s possible that the Biden administration was more technocratic about their hiring decisions. It’s certainly possible that a future democrat administration also cares a lot about this, but also possible that they don’t.

That’s an interesting interpretation of politics-is-the-mind-killer, that sounds reasonable.
Yes, but the reasons explained apply equally to all political candidates.
