The chart in the fine article shows the "technology founders" are about half as libertarian as the general Democrat and nearly twice as likely to support redistribution - but hey, let's not call that or them far left.
- maxxxxx 9y agoWatch what people do, not what they say. Technology founders are either capitalists already or aspiring capitalists. In theory they support redistribution as long as it doesn't come out of their pockets or equity. You can't call them far left on the economical scale. That makes that label meaningless which it is anyways. Americans should stop agonizing about what's left or right, Democrat or Republican and start thinking about issues. There are tons of problems this country has that can't be explained or solved by labeling them left or right. When I came to this country I thought it's a pragmatic country that gets things done but now I wonder it's just a bunch delusional ideologues based on the public conversation.
