Yeah, this 100%. If you went by what Reddit and Twitter thought was going to happen in recent votes and elections, you'd think that Sanders would be the Democratic nominee in 2016, that Trump was not going to be president, that Britain would vote to remain in the EU and that Jeremy Corbyn would lead the Labour Party to victory over Boris Johnson and the Conservatives.

The fact that all those predictions turned out to be wrong indicates that at least a sizeable percentage of the population is further to the right politically than the majority of Reddit or Twitter seemingly is.

You may not always get banned for having the opposite opinion on topics like those (though it definitely happens in quite a few subreddits), but the point is, the prevailing consensus on those sites is certainly a lot further left than the mainstream as shown by election resultls.
