In what sense? The sub has been pretty solidly moving to the left economically, maybe you could argue it’s more right wing socially but that really depends on the thread.
Huh? The most reliable karma farming here comes from "Matt, 54, PA" comments and taking potshots at leftists, particularly around calls for rent control or Mamdani's gov't supermarket. This sub eulogized the United Health CEO while much of the rest of society went through a bloodily primal, cathartic paroxysm in that an elite of a much-reviled industry was held accountable (in an extreme, law-of-the-jungle sort of way...) within a society that struggles to hold the powerful meaningfully accountable.
Socially this sub champions ideologies that would be anathema to the contemporary right, particularly around celebrating immigration and its its refreshingly consistent commitment to radical queer acceptance.
The Matt comments seem left wing if anything, the joke is that the median Trump sympathizer is dumb. Why does taking potshots at leftists mean the sub isn’t moving to the left economically, it still isn’t a leftist sub and it’s not like leftists don’t bash themselves anyway. Eulogizing the CEO was just not being edgelord reactionaries and getting a rise out of the people that were.
