There are no techies on our side? I find that hard to believe.

One man with a cell phone and a Twitter account can whump all 4,500 of those liberal IT workers. It’s all about having something worthwhile to communicate, not the means of communication.

Unsure. Maybe paid, conservs tend to be individuals. This is a group thing. Dems like groups.

Techies working so hard to elect the people who want to open the floodgates for the people who will replace them

The tech forum
Slashdot once did a poll of their posters on their political orientation. It was about 2/3 left and 1/3 right.
And at the forum at The Register (a high-tech news site), posters on the left and right downvote each others posts; and the ratio appears to be about the same.

For starters, they note that many of these are from Google, Facebook, etc where there are many who are democrat socialist as well as H1Bs.
Second, they use techie and STEM workers as if they are all tech, hands on tech employees. Betting that many of these are actually program managers, IT directors, IT HR and the many other areas of IT that have no real IT or STEM skills other than working in an IT company.
4500 is not that many. Many large companies by themselves have 2-5 times that number working in STEM/IT.
Long time techie and STEM person both in and out of the military. This is propaganda.

Been in front end design / user experience pretty much my entire career. Let's just say I keep my politics to myself...and I'm far more to the libertarian side of conservative than most people you'll meet here. To the overwhelming majority of my peers - who do express their political opinions publicly with no fear of "repercussions" - I would be considered a far right wing extremist.

The cheap labor lobby sold out American techs in favor of bringing over a million plus foreigners. The American ones that are left in the industry aren’t exactly feeling like anyone has their back.
