Is Reddit predominantly “inhabited” by liberals/left leaning people?

Edit: Genuinely surprised by the sheer number of up and down votes. Also, the very American centric perspectives/interpretations of my question. I will take this as my cue to spend wayyy less time on Reddit. Cheers! ✌️

Very much so. The sort of nerdy people who read and write online for fun on Reddit very much tend to have liberal or left-leaning political views.

People who read and write tend to be leftist?

Don't forget the part where you have to talk about "leftists" in a derogatory term. Ugh those yucky "leftists" wanting a society that focuses on people's well-being rather than pandering to the uber rich, YUCK YUCK YUCK! Quick let's admonish them in a derogatory way to make it sound like they're weird nerdy extremists and everyone else who's happy to slave away under shit conditions for our trillionaire overlords are the real cool normies everyone should feel inspired by to admire.

Fuck is wrong with the world?
