I am close to somebody who prefers to buy from BN.com because (she says; I don’t do this research…) they give money to Democrats and Amazon gives money to Republicans, but she still does her searching at Amazon because it works better before she hops over to BN.com to make her purchase.

I had a laugh over this and moved on, but then thought, maybe I can help out.
Tell your friend if she wants to give money to Democrats, then she should go ahead and do it directly. That will help them the most and they might even send her a button or a bumper sticker. (If they don't, she can get a good price on buttons and stickers at Amazon.)
But when it comes to commerce go with what works, not fuzzy feelings. There are too many fuzzy feelings in this world today. That is what is messing us up.
(And by the way, they have stopped production on the GM Volt for a while because the demand isn't there. The sell 60K/year model isn't working out. Fuzzy feelings gone haywire again!)
