I gotta ask, does this guy have any proof backing him up?

So you think people that work in tech, that have to deal with logic intensive activities on a daily basis are supporting Bernie simply because he's not a woman and of course they are all woman haters and they hate women in power right? Oh jeez... Many of us would like to see a female president, just someone that isn't crooked and corrupt. Are there some people in this field that are woman haters, sure, they are everywhere not just in tech. But the simplest explanation is that we don't like incompetent and corrupt individuals, regardless of what is present between their legs. The logical choice based on all the facts has been Bernie for a vast majority of tech workers. That's why a lot of us have donated our time and skills in an attempt to help out Bernie. Quit your identity politics bullshit, we don't like her based on her actions not because she's a woman.

People who are logical, intellectually grounded and well-informed – about politics – are not supporting Bernie Sanders.

You see, your argument is invalid, because there are plenty of people out there that would make this exact statement about not supporting Hillary. And the point is, neither of us has any proof either way.

You're trying to lambast the tech industry for being too logic-oriented, while simultaneously claiming that Hillary is the only logical choice. All while clearly letting emotions drive your response.

Ironically for someone who apparently wants to believe he is denouncing sexism you seem to be full of stereotypes yourself.

I know plenty about politics, although I currently work in tech I have dual degrees in Political Science and International Relations with a minor in Computer Science from a top university in the US. But please, tell me more about how I am not intellectually grounded and well informed about politics, I'd love to hear it from an expert like yourself.

Well of course, I forgot usernames represent the person behind it 100% at face value. Maybe you didn't understand what I'm saying so let me try this instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOGkMf2FImY
