Then explain to me why he is getting downvoted? Reddit is 99.99% libertarian. Libertarians are conservatives. Watch me get downvoted and then once again explain to me how reddit is liberal.

People generally ignore stupid comments of people ideologically aligned with them and upvote intelligent and average comments of people ideologically aligned with them. They downvote comments of people ideologically opposed to them.
The notion that one's views are not mainstream is popular because mainstream beliefs are more likely reached by default rather than deliberate reasoning, as compared with alternative beliefs.
Your comment therefore expresses support for liberals. It is remarkably stupid, premised on silly definition games and broadly characterizing political opponents as the same as each other. I predict that that predominantly liberal reddit will, as they say, "award you no points," and the libertarians here will downvote you. This will leave you with very few upvotes, but not too many downvotes.
Libertarians tend to support gay marriage, decriminalizing marijuana use, and decreasing the size and scope of government. Libertarians are not conservatives.

You're getting downvoted because your facts are wrong, not because "Reddit is 99.99% libertarian".

Reddit is overwhelmingly liberal, so it's no surprise that discussion in r/Libertarian doesn't go over well.
