Tech Workers Backing Candidates Looking to Break Up Their Employers

Left-wing views tend to be highly agreeable views and there's almost no discomfort or backlash in expressing them. IMO, it starts at the top with CEOS who do things like banning firearms sales after a mass shooting for huge PR gain, and propagates throughout the company.

Oh and if multiple execs call a meeting and were almost tearing up over an election loss (Google), I highly doubt i'd be comfortable even mentioning my political views, so the stats probably fail to mention people lying about their political views to avoid trouble.

You can just look at political donations from employees at these companies. Tech skews heavily Democrat.

In principle I agree with your point but imho our current president is an exception to that rule.

How often does a self-confessed sexual abuser get elected president?

And the sad thing is that comment of mine is not even slander - it’s a statement of fact, since the “Grab ‘em by the pussy” comment === admitting to being sexually abusive.

If I was a woman, and an exec, I would certainly be tearing up regardless of my political views.
