I think this is very telling, as a symptom of a diseased democracy.

People wouldn't take their fight to these environments if democracy was working, because they'd have faith in the due processes of government. But once they start thinking things aren't working, they'll go to their next seats of power. In this case it's the workplace where they can influence their coworkers and the policy of a big tech corporation.

These people are not a majority so democracy isn't fully broken yet, but the cracks are showing.

A healthy democracy isn’t meant to prop up unpersuasive ideologies.
