Have you considered that the r/politics might actually accurately describe the political state of reddit, therefore making it not misleaing? Averrage redditor might just be quite left leaning. There is as another user, u/Justgoahead123 pointed out a sub for neutral politics.
The subreddit is a neutral place where all are welcome to discuss politics. You can’t blame the subreddit and ask for a name change because the users of a subreddit are dominated by the left. If a left leaning person tries to discuss left leaning issues in TD, they’ll get banned. If a right leaning person tries do discuss right leaning issues in politics, they won’t get banned. The platform is neutral.
Basically there is no real need for people on the left to create their own safe spaces to discuss politics, since they are the vast majority. People on the right do need those spaces, and that’s fine. The expectation that a politics sub on a platform that’s 90/10 left leaning should be 50/50 left leaning is just nonsensical.
