I have very strange political views and I sit someplace outside of the left-right specturm. From this perspective I can pretty safely say that Reddit and HN are two of the most politically diverse sites on the internet. Their main goal isn't politics so they've attracted a diverse crowd. It is because of this that neither viewpoint is favored due to the high distrobution of political viewpoints. Reddit is the only place you can go to see people praise Ron Paul one year, Bernie the next, then Trump right after that. To call reddit or hacker new homogeneous is insane.
