> HN in turn, are left leaning, socialist Democrats
This is the hostile media effect: ideological users see the platform as dominated by their enemies. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18671955, where HN is "the techno-libertarian norm around here".
HN is made of humans, and humans project concious and unconscious bias in their actions.
Though perceptions may vary, there certainly is one ideology that can be scientifically proven to exist among HN whales. It may or may not be the one I perceive, but to pretend like HN whales carry no ideological baggage in their voting is inaccurate.
Maybe a poll, or sentiment analysis of the most Up-voted and down-voted comments can reveal this.
