Reddit doesn’t matter nearly as much as you think. It’s not going to move the needle appreciably.
Almost all English language text is liberal, meaning capitalist, very little is socialist, virtually none is communist, and quite a lot is anti-communist. So there’s your baked-in political bias for English language models.
I wonder if using a chinese language model and then translating it would get better or worse political content
The political bias of AI will be set by those tuning the models. Now mix in a bunch of voters asking LLMs who they should vote for, because people will outsource their thinking any chance they get. The result is model owners being able to sway elections with very little effort.

I believe that because Reddit is generally left-leaning and the majority of those users are opposed to AI, we may see a disproportionate rise in AI-generated right-wing content, which could influence public opinion. And the pentagon also showed interest in using LLMs to gaslight people.
We already see this: actual right wing political advertisements using AI and Twitter is full of the shit. It’s legitimately easier to trick conservatives with the slop.
