A naive observer would look at these numbers and say “wow, I am unsurprised that this movement is made mostly of straight white American male tech workers”.

It says liberal “as in US Democratic Party” at 35% and social democrat at 2nd with 29% and Marxist at what looks like 2-3% so an easy majority (for this survey at least) the rest are libertarian, then Neo reactionary, and alt right in descending order

Just in USA Liberals are considered leftist
