> I'm fairly sure that reds are not a minority in the US (since they managed to win the election 2017)
The election in 2017 tells us almost nothing about whether reds are a minority in the US, since that year only saw the counting of electoral votes, which it was possible to win with 27% of the popular vote, or 23% in 2012 (assuming we're talking about the presidential vote).[0]
If you mean the presidential (non-binding) popular vote in 2016, then the blues won by 66 million to 63 million.[1] That may not be a big enough difference to explain the bias you think you're seeing on Reddit, but it's worth considering that there was less than 56% turnout in that election, and it's possible that non-voters are over-represented on Reddit (not least because Reddit users may not be old enough to vote).
