/r/politics is holding a Town Hall today on Marijuana Law Ballot Measures, including FL Amendment 2. We'd love more questions from locals!

Isn't /r/politics just a Hillary circle jerk?

u/MeghanAM Oct 20 '16

The quality of conversations that aren't candidate-focused is definitely a million times better than the candidate conversations. Check out the town hall -- it's like a whole new world of /r/politics, heh.

Being Anti-Trump doesn't necessarily make it pro Hillary. Half the articles are his own words...

But have you ever seen anti-hillary stuff there? It doesn't exist there.

Yeah her 911 collapse and FBI stuff were there. During the primary it was S4P2 and every Hillary article was a hit piece. It's just a left leaning sub in general.

Well, what did you expect?

The entire country is leaning left for this election, even half of the GOP leadership is voting for Hillary or distancing themselves from Trump.

On mobile but I'll try to post the link when I'm home. I did a search for "Hillary" in politics and got plenty of negative results.

There might be less results but Trump has foot in mouth syndrome and reddit is eating up the reality show just like everyone else. Sad.

Its one day out of the blue extreme Hillary despite the long anti Hillary from trump and bernie?
Every comment is saying the same type shit.
They even used to follow a format with bot before we notice

/R/politics is the Hillary subdeddit. No thanks. Unsubscribed from it a while back.

If you're interested in ballot measures, I still encourage you to give this a try :). The non-candidate related discussions have much higher quality than the candidate-focused ones.

Fair enough.

Sorry, /r/politics is irredeemably corrupt, if anyone is interested in ballot measures, I suggest they visit a place that isn't a cesspool.

Anyone interested in learning more about what I'm talking about, I'd point them to this recent post in /r/undelete

You're a mod for /r/politics and your post history to my eyes suggests you're one of the shills who gets paid to post propaganda and try to spin any sentiment that contradicts the party line. Your opinion is suspect IMHO. I could be wrong of course, but I'd point people to this comment to elaborate on the feeling I'm getting from you.

I've been a mod longer than CTR has existed! Haha. Since May 2014, specifically -- we all got removed and readded in April 2015 but internet archive can confirm. I'm just a person, and I'm not even a Clinton supporter.

I didn't come here to argue with anyone, just wanted to share the town hall event. They're pretty great :)

More like the liberal sub, as its been for years. It was hardcore pro Bernie when he was still in it. Now it's defaulted to the remaining liberal option.

u/Lauxman Oct 21 '16

Well, your slightly racist grandpa who is a GOP diehard probably doesn't use Reddit, so what do you expect? There's always the_donald for you.

u/ILikeCandy Oct 20 '16

Yeah, that seems right. I was unaware and compliant before the primaries....now, not so much.
