1. I could certainly do a better job of framing my arguments to avoid doing that. What gives you the ability to speak on behalf of entire groups? 2. Sure, but my point is those are the ends of the scale and every company or organization is somewhere on the scale. Your argument (as I understand it) is that you can keep personal politics separate from where you work, a political entity which interacts with all levels of politics. Small companies have an incredible impact on local governments. I don't think you can keep those things separate if you have meaningful choice about where you work (most tech workers and tech jobs). There are lots of jobs where that is not true. I'm not talking about the politics of the cleaning staff at Raytheon or Greenpeace, for example.
