a lot of conservatives are around jsp and have lurked pard over the years from other places including the df (also consider the mass amount of multis that float around)

site is heavily conservative leaning as it's not a very diverse site and many of those people have popped in thrown down a few talking points had a couple rage posts and go back to lurking and telling people in other sections how bad pard is and how much smarter they are than regs

what makes you so sure that jsp as a whole and the pard-lurkers in particular are overwhelmingly conservative, to a much higher degree than the pard regulars?

Lots of years as a reg in many different places on the site

take out non political people and the majority are definitely conservative leaning from top to bottom

which shouldn't be surprising as it's mostly white dudes around the same age

Stick to just US members and even more so

If you want examples of it round up a thread or 2 moved here from another section. Df moved threads are a great example of what I'm talking about

but afaik, white dudes in the 18-35 age bracket, which should make up by far the largest chunk of the jsp demographic, are not a overwhelmingly conservative-leaning group.
according to a pew-study cited in this article:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/politics/wp/2018/03/21/a-bright-spot-for-republicans-among-millennials-young-white-men/?utm_term=.652aa0a264fc

white millenial men have a partisan leaning of R+7. that's significant, but it's far from overwhelming.

so are you disagreeing with me? you think there are more left leaners in general based on people's posts throughout the site? more moderate?

you'll find way more ghot/void/helical/bob/tagged/chriskz/etcetc throughout pard and other areas that get political from time to time than lefties

I never said that jsp, or pard, were not somewhat right-leaning places. But with you, it sounds like we're just one step away from r/the_donald, it sounds as if you think conservavtives outnumber liberals by a huge factor of 3 or 4, and that's where I strongly disagree.

I'd suspect pard to be 35-40% left-leaning versus 55-60% right-leaning. Your description makes it sound as if the ratio was 20% vs 80%.

Genuinely would love to see what you come up with dividing PaRD regulars on the left/right divide.
