Mob psycho isn't very political, but there's one moment I really like in the season 2 finale where where Mon gets really angry at some Claw members who break some windows or something. He asks them if they even know how to make a can of tinned food, or if all they know how to do is destroy. That's a nice critique of basically any fascist movement that glorifies physical strength and hierarchy instead of the ability to create and work. Imo Mob Psycho gets away with not being political in general because it's about the beauty of the human experience and that's already in line with leftist ideals.
Jujutsu Kaisen is full of criticism of conservatism, some vague anti-capitalism in Nanami's backstory, and criticism of misogyny. It also does the classic shonen thing where it criticises violence in the text, but the reading experience is all about cool fights. Also, it's about to end and it looks like the problems with society aren't going to be resolved or addressed.
Remember there's the season 1 finale where Reigen basically lectures the first set of Claw members about how they aren't special and need to start acting like adults and get real jobs and such. I think MP100 is pretty political since it usually frames its theses around political points, it's just difficult to parse in a nuanced way because most of what actually happens isn't distinctively political.
