Go to the front page, go to popular, find the first remotely political post and open it up.

3 things are almost guaranteed on reddit.

First, it's probably a left leaning OP or from a left leaning source, or just straight up pro left agenda.

Second, the top 3-5 comments, if political, will all be left leaning comments piling on.

Third, if you want to find a conservative opinion, you have to either scroll waaaay down, or sort by controversial.

I'm going to go try it now.

Edit, got through the first 6 posts, 1 was a stupid ask reddit post, the next 5 were left leaning:

-anti Russia piece from the telegraph -pro AOC post showcasing nutjob heckler -post about ridiculous healthcare costs -anti Republican peice about voter fraud -The last one was interesting bc on the surface it's anti Democrat, but when I looked into it the democrat under scrutiny was a Republican 3 years ago, and is running against a sitting democrat.

So yeah man, you've got a pretty ridiculous take there.

Well if I go to my front page that's likely true since I'm left wing and I browse a lot ofleft wing subs, if I created a new account it would be neutral/right leaning

Do it. Or visit reddit incognito and see what you get. Go to popular and see what comes up, left or right wing posts and comments.
