Hateful assholes are just more visible online because there's no real social consequences for it. This isn't just a right-wing thing, it's just that the neo-Nazis and MRAs draw more attention because they're willing to engage in prolonged harassment campaigns of someone just because that person said a bad thing about their movement or has a Jewish-sounding last name or whatever (because, again, they're hateful assholes who often have nothing better to do with their lives). Also, the left tends to be more focused on attaining actual change and thus tends to be out there volunteering and stuff rather than wasting their time on pointless poo poo like vote brigading online polls or flooding news article comments sections.
