I find that there's a very big liberal (small ell) presence here, which is certainly not left or progressive. There's also a small-but-significant left/alternative/anarchist contingent (they overlap).
Traditional conservatives are underrepresented, but that's true in real life as well, where they've largely been pushed out by populists like Trump, Poilièvre, Le Pen, Orban, etc. (there's little room for an Erin O'Toole or John McCain any more).
