Workers Lean Left, Leaders Lean Right

There exists a significant divide between tech workers and tech industry leaders regarding their political affiliations. Tech workers generally support the Democratic Party, evidenced by their voting patterns and financial contributions. This support shapes the political landscape of regions like California and the Bay Area, where prominent Democratic figures are elected, such as Nancy Pelosi and Kamala Harris. Conversely, the leaders of the tech industry, many of whom are male, tend to hold conservative views, with some being extremely conservative. This contrast highlights the complexity within the tech sector, where workers and executives embody opposing political alignments, despite the industry's liberal reputation among its workforce.
