You’d have to qualify that statement…. Left leaning according to which countries’ politics?
In the states for example, the democrat politicians are actually right of center.
If you are calling right of center, “left leaning” then I could possibly agree with you. But I don’t think you are saying what you think you’re saying.
I think that's a confusing way to look at it. Left is always more left than right, in any country.
I think you see more leftists/socialists on Lemmy than reddit, and fewer conservatives/nationalists than reddit. Liberals are about the same, I think.
I’m just saying the like 80% of Americans support progressive policies, but corporate media calls those same policies radical socialism.
