 I believe the left consumes more social media political content (much like they do with tv and newspapers) so this shouldn't be surprising.  There isn't a technical case why bsky should be better.

Ultimately I don't think we'll know until the 2026 midterms whether isolating themselves in a hugbox helps or hurts them politically.  If they're able to draw the centrists in and control narrative then bsky wins.  if not, it probably dies on a long enough timeline.

All Conservatives do is cry and freak out about about the 13 times in the entire history of the world that a kid got transed, and jews if they're esoteric conservatives. 
 RN the left is complaining at least as much about Jews as the right.  While I agree that the left dominates the arts, what non political hobbies are you talking about?

Lefties are political activists AND some other thing. Eighties are JUST political activists, careers aside. 
 Sports are not LW coded, just the associations have that shit forced on them by the govt

 DEI initiatives that find Hockey isn't diverse but basketball is for example.  They don't do any of this of their own volition.
