It leans left because most of the right wingers got purged due to some combination of supporting terrorist coup attempts, rampant homophobia, bigotry, and just all around unpleasantness.

It's aggressively center left. Any other ideology gets attack and perceived as either right wing or tankie here. You gotta be around Mayor Pete's ideology.

left, though a huge contributor to this is that right wingers have a tendency to go mask off and get booted off the board

it is somewhat refreshing because besides CE and a few of the other social boards, in my experience most of the rest of the site skews pretty far to the right

You cannot operate with blatant GOP positions without violating TOS on most non-X websites. There's a lot of left wingers because the rest got purged from violations.

Heavily left wing, especially since goobers like the caution club got thrown out.

Can be annoying since criticism of left leaning politicians whose last name isn't Fetterman is a gamble if you get yelled at or not, warranted or not. And that's coming from someone who has spent his entire voting life voting for the Green Party.

The amount of people. Say there are 100 people on the board and 55 are right wing, its slightly right. If 90 of them are right wing, its heavily right.

Almost like Jill Stein's entire platform this year is "let's siphon kamala voters to help Trump win."

True right? Theres almost no one on this board whos true right. Im one of the furthest right because I dont believe the country needs to ban any more types of firearms, but Im center or left on basically everything else. Im definitely in favor of small government over large government, but thats the y axis, not x (its up/down, not left/right).

As for the board in general, its hard to say. Its definitely left of center, but I couldnt say where the average would rest. But there are some vocal users who are left of essentially every country in the world on issues like immigration/borders and firearms, and plenty that believe in general leftist policies on things like education, healthcare, military strength, abortion, speech, and religion.

I suppose that's fair though there really isn't much political discussion on this board that isn't American politics.

Except were talking about the board, not the politicians. The board isnt limited to American concepts, they want what other countries have and then some. Like free education, free healthcare, no abortion restrictionsthese arent even on the radar of American politics. But theyre discussed on this board as things we should have.

Whether that's left wing depends on your frame of reference. Here in Western Europe, those are centre left views at most, mostly because higher education is still a cost in most of the countries. Even the far right Reform party here in the UK argued in favour of the NHS, mostly because anyone who openly runs on hurting the NHS is DOA.

Those exact same views are far left in the USA due to how far to the right the Overton window is. Hell, Trump explicitly said that Kamala would get everyone free healthcare and how awful it would be. It's a view that can get you attacked in politics.
