I'm not Republican or Democrat, but I find the Math provided not agreeing with their conclusions.

Given more than 60% of tech workers do not identify as Democrat, the conclusions that tech workers are Democrats are silly.

I identify with only a few Democrat Candidates and fiscally think Democrats are regressive.

That said, Republicans also don't align with my social or economic views. (Tariffs and government spending)

If I had to guess why this article exists, they are pressuring people into thinking educated rich people vote Democrat.

But for clarity, I'd like to see "identify as X" and "identify as neither".

For some numbers which don't agree see https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/9/6/16260326/te...

"They found that, broadly speaking, tech entrepreneurs are pretty liberal. 75.2 percent voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016, and 61.3 percent identified as Democrats"


Yeah dude doesn't realize there is the catch all part of independents who make up more registered people than either dem or republican party.
