yea if your outspoken, it make sense they wont hire someone. employers will check your social media to see if you "boisterous", better to not go on social media and say you support this and this person. likewise it happens to right wingers too, thats why they arnt hirable in most places. support activism, politics in "safe spaces" and not put yourself on your social media account about what you are protesting about. i asusme thats why they arnt getting hired, check your social, see you dont like this or that.
they want to see your "cv or resume" not your politics. this doesnt need to apply to politics, being elitist is another reason not to hire someone too.
of course another issue, if you entering into an industry that is tradionally opposite of your political views, its probably not a good idea to express it.
