- arduanika 7y ago<Occupation> are usually very vocal leftists...those who don't speak openly about politics don't care or are right wingers It generalizes.
- meowface 7y agoRight-wingers are plenty vocal. It's just that Twitter is not necessarily what they use to vocalize their views, for reasons that are probably obvious.
- udwum 7y agoLet me put it another way: in the world of programming, being a right-winger publicly is suicide. Example: Brendan Eich. That had chilling effects. I suppose that, as demographics change and new Asian cultures start to dominate the market, that will change. But by now it is the way it is.
