Seems a very safe guess, judging by the latest EA Survey I could find (2022):

• 76.8% left-leaning (36.8% left, 39.8% center-left)
• 8.1% center
• 6.9% other
• 5.6% libertarian
• 2.9% right-leaning (2.2% center right, 0.7% right)

(about as many EAs identifying as right-leaning as EA buddhists)

I often see him say he's disagreeable or inflammatory, and now apparently you're saying the same too
