Ha, first time I heard that. Usually we're accused of being libertarian wingnuts.
That said, it is true that there are a lot of Democrats here, though not really what I'd call "left wing" Democrats. Many of them Googlers and Apple employees, from what I can tell (and campaign finance data backs me up).

- jnbiche 11y ago> HN is stereotypically seen as very left wing on social issues and libertarian economically. So in a word, libertarian.
- meowface 11y agoSort of, "left libertarian" would be more accurate. Many people hear libertarian and think Rand Paul.
- veddox 11y agoAny statistics on that? Or is that just a general impression?
