Bullshit, and insulting bullshit at that.
Or to put it another way, I could with exactly equal justification claim
that 80% yes showed "that a brutal majority of the Debian developers care
little about the politics of the Project".

possibly be equivalent with not having a political opinion, just because
it's not *his* opinion.
