> Silicon Valley politicians I talked to lamented the political apathy of busy rank-and-file tech workers who live in a bubble. (The Musks and Thiels are a different story.) “They don’t get involved,” a public official told me. “They don’t vote. They don’t know their local representatives.”<p>It's terrible, they are just like everyone else. No one knows their local reps, local elections have terrible turnout, and are conducted in almost a total information blackout.
