I come from a very conservative circle, and I find that outside of my specific facebook feed (where that group is), the internet at large is a very left-leaning place.
HN is the most neutral place I can think of. I think it might just hide it well, as politics aren't a large topic here. I'm just glad to see that even political conversations here are largely rooted in facts.

Him and Satoshi and a handful of other radicals in our midst who should not be named. The Net is like a flower unfolding, the people who intellectually influence the beginning are sure to have some of their number be rockstars much later on.
