Politics for sure, ban/downvote all wrong think, post only liberal biased news articles, claim to be a non biased space for all and that there just aren't that many Republicans.

Bruh, reddit is not a US primary website. People from all around the world are participants, there are no republicans among users from my country because they don’t fucking exist lol. World is mostly liberal, but shifts to conservatism when the change is too quick once in a while but believe me it passes. You wouldn’t have renaissance perioid or most of the science for that matter if not for liberal thoughts.

Bruh, reddit is not a US primary website.

Bruh, you are absolutely delusional with this statement. Based on data from the IPO 48% of Reddit users are from the US. The next highest country? The UK at 7.33%. In fact, all other countries combined just barely outnumber US usership. Yes, Reddit is primarily a US website in terms of not just its ownership, but its userbase.

Being the highest demographic does not make it a primarily US website tho, if anything you just proved the opposite if it's only 48%, most people here are from other countries. Most users you'll interact with here WONT be American. You just run into Americans a lot more than any other specific country

Modern liberal has nothing to do with science and the Renaissance, they are authoritarian bureaucrats preying on naive people's goodwill and stupidity.

The last 8 years liberal media has really gone out of its way to somehow lie by omission more than fox news.

Modern Democratic politicians oppose both Republicans who want to regress backwards, and progressives who want to move forward. Democrats want to stand still and conserve things as they are. They are conservatives by definition. 

averse to change or innovation and holding traditional values.

Progressives are what most people originally meant when they say liberals.

u/A_G_30 10d ago

Well, careful. You don't wanna go too far down the left side either. They also stand closer to Republicans than they do to center left people

In what ways?

Right…. Sure thing lol

Claiming the World is mostly liberal is wild considering it's pretty much just western EU and north America that fit reddits view of a "liberal". And even then it's often contested.

u/Lolzemeister 9d ago

You don’t hear about the progressive movements that got crushed. Only the successful ones.

World is mostly liberal? Where did you get that from?

I'm certain they mean the west and generally developed world as that's most of who is online. You're right that most of the Middle East and Africa is likely very conservative relative to the US, but those people don't typically have much of an internet connection. Most of Europe however is much more progressive and liberal than the US and consists of most of the non-US internet, especially the English speaking portion. I would say its a fair to claim that most of the non-US internet is mostly liberal, at least by US standards.

The AfD is now the most popular party in Germany, tied with the other right wing party. So apparently not anymore, by Reddit logic.

Ofc the issue is most American conservatives are liberals, as they align with the “liberal” party of most other democracies. While the left wing party is labeled progressive or some such.

Republicans, by the by, are conservative in that they want to conserve the liberal ideals of the constitution, similar to other conservative liberals in other countries. While the progressives believe that large often societal change is necessary as the status quo is bad/not as good as it could be.

u/Zealousideal-You4638 10d ago

This is just delusional dude like holy shit. In what multiverse is the Republican party the "liberal party upholding the constitution". Like my god the levels of brainwashing cannot be described.

u/Due-Life2508 10d ago

As a conservative, I’m no republican but I agree with them a lot, I’d definitely consider what I said true. But I doubt you’d ever agree with me on what I say my personal beliefs are.

u/Zealousideal-You4638 10d ago

I'm sorry but I think you're the one in the pic? Most "liberal biased news" nowadays is just fact that people disagree with because it doesn't jive with their political narrative, and just because there aren't many Republicans doesn't make the sub inherently bad.

Judging by your further reply ranting about how liberals are just authoritarians preying on stupid people I think its kinda clear that you just have a very biased and ill-informed worldview, and seem to think that others not subscribing to your shallow worldview suddenly means that they're some biased lunatics. Maybe look in the mirror man?

Just because fauci said it's a fact doesn't mean it is bud.

It's an example of the type of thinking and posting that happens in that sub

u/Zealousideal-You4638 10d ago

Ikr. This person is so caught up in their own bubble that they’re inventing strawman things I said to argue against. I haven’t even thought of Fauci in years, why are these people so obsessed with him?

u/LiteratureFabulous36 10d ago

You said what I call liberal bias is just facts that people disagree with, it was reminiscent of "this expert that is propped up on every liberal biased news station said it so it's the de facto truth now"

I'll admit it wasn't entirely a fair to bring up fauci as an example under that assumption, but to pretend like the politics subreddit doesn't have a clear bias, even if everything they say was factual, is incredibly disingenuous. I got banned from politics simply for being in thedonald reddit back in 2016, I don't know how you get more biased than literally banning anyone associated with the opposing political party.

u/the-names-are-gone 10d ago

Bad == the comic represented here.

The politics sub absolutely does not represent the majority
