Tech employees are, as a group:

- Highly educated - Young - High % of foreign citizens - Urban - Wealthy

If you take the general population and control for those covariates, you end up with a subpopulation that massively skews left. For example - the median age for people watching Fox news is nearly 70.

Right, so, not sure what exactly Twitter is supposed to do about it.

I'm trying to think of some sort of affirmative action parallel, but unlike other protected classes, political disposition is a choice. The closest protected class I can think of is religion, which arguably is as much a choice as political disposition... But in any case, if someone is passed over for promotion or not hired or somehow damaged for their political leanings, they already can sue over it.

I guess I'm having a hard time being conviced there's an actual problem here.
