I've been reading r/neutralpolitics for a while now, and it definitely is less left than r/politics, but conservative points are still buried in the comments. For any post talking about Trump or anything related to him, you have to browse comments using the "controversial" sorting method to see anything not progressive focused.

  That would be true for the entire country as well. The amount of support for left vs right is pretty lopsided. This isn't reflected in number of seats because of gerrymandering and electoral college.

    >The amount of support for left vs right is pretty lopsided. In certain areas. In the media, yes. In the population, not so much.

      Voting is based on population, not by media articles or the geography. Check the 2018 and 2016 election results.

        Yes, that was my point. The 2016 election was roughly evenly split on the popular vote, with a slight advantage to the democrats. Meanwhile the media believed that the democrats a >90% chance of winning.
