How do Co-operatives vote?

[PSOL]

How do businesses ran more horizontally in a more democratic fashion vote? Is there any difference between the types of co-operatives in different sectors and in those working different jobs like in farming or services, beginning workers or those with tenure or with specialized duties?

when I read the title I thought this was referencing people who live in co-op buildings.  I can tell you those people vote at least 90% dem.  They are the living stereotype of neurotic woke libs.  The GOP no mask no problem line of thought would never work with these people.

It depends on what kind. For many, participation in a coop is not politicizing or salient for voting. Lots of Republican farmers are part of a local grain co-op. Voting habits in larger, corporatized co-ops like Publix, Dairy Farmers of America probably end up reflecting their participants' demographics.

On the other hand, CSA's, social justice co-ops, and other types whose structure is more central to one's experience and political identity are likely heavily Democratic.
