There are far more conservatives in academia than actual leftists. And there are more liberals in academia than both groups combined. See Catherine Liu for an example of an actual leftist in academia who speaks on this dynamic.

One problem with electing dems that can’t defend common sense policies like Medicare for all, or don’t do a genocide is that if they don’t have the communication skills to sell good policies then they don’t have the communication skills to defend who they are. It’s a problem of their own making.
