Meh - everyone calls the ACA Obamacare.

That’s because you’re bright enough to walk into the library and go to the librarian or card catalog for help. Instead of wandering around the entire building hoping you come across the book you wanted.

No. What you saw in the election and what you’re seeing on Reddit is the pent-up frustration of a group of people who were marginalized by political correctness and shouted down as bigots every time they questioned the reasons for something. They couldn’t criticize Obama without being called a racist. They couldn’t

I forgot there were no minorities or LGBT People subbed to the donald. Attitudes like yours are the exact reason people are being turned off by the left. Not everyone that doesn’t agree with you is racist or sexist

What bullshit. There were CHILD PORN subreddits. There were subreddits on how to rape people. There were subreddits filled with pictures of dead minorities. Please stop talking crap.

Reddit is tearing itself apart? Nah. Most of reddit is fine. I guess I don’t visit the darker places on the net that you guys do to get stories. I go to places I enjoy on my time. When I delve into the subreddits on subjects that interest me, reddit is amazing.

It’s actually a metaphor. The people they are calling cucks are in their eyes cucks because they like to watch their country get fucked by doing things like letting terrorists in without vetting etc etc

I rarely see them posting anything hateful or bigoted (honestly I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything truly vile come out of that sub). Mostly faux outrage and lots of caps.

I use Reddit. It’s not tearing itself apart.

Have you EVER debated anything with a liberal? They always become overwhelmed by emotion and are completely incapable of rational discourse.

For some context /r/the_donald has ~300,000 subscribers. /r/overwatch a subreddit dedicated to a videogame that came out 6 months ago has more than twice that many. Whenever I read Gizmodo comments without fail you will see people who admit to never using the site but somehow also having a distaste for it. It’s by

You have Trump as your leader supreme with cheese because the other guys ran a crap candidate because “it was her turn” who wasted no opportunity to tell those who were angry that they didn’t matter any more.

I used to like the approach that Gizmodo attempted way back in the day. A starred system of trusted commenters, and the biggest rule was no personal attacks. You could say what you wanted about whatever you wanted as long as you kept it civil...

What I find ironic is that a site whose comment platform requires mods to “follow” users in order to make their comments appear in public without upvotes is complaining about another site stifling dissenting opinion. I don’t recall seeing too many Trump supporters showing up in the comments section.

For a “toxic subreddit” they sure did welcome with open arms a transgendered person yesterday who was banned from /r/lgbt for admission of their support for trump.

Right, because comments like his are exactly what we’re talking about here. I know, I know...freedoms are only for you you entitled brat.

Is it me or its easy to structure Reddit so as to not see any of that crap? I have a bunch sub blogs I like and I’ve seen little or no mention of these issues. In the last 6 months or so I’ve been using Reddit more and more and found some great stuff on it. I just avoid the politics discussions like the plague.

Gizmodo exercises an iron fist of control to silence and ostracize any comment that doesn’t align with their message. It’s hard to tear apart something that’s barely got integrity in the first place.

If you’re spending any time on r/all... that’s the wrong way to reddit. I’ve whittled my front page down to subreddits like r/campingandhiking, r/personalfinance, r/nba, etc. It’s a useful tool if you curate it for yourself and I haven’t seen a single trace of r/the_donald all year.
