You are aware that if anyone on this board says anything anti-trump in the slightest they are greeted with nothing but downvotes, right?

r/politics and this PoliBoard share an equal amount of bias, just in different directions.

The big key difference is the upvote/downvote system on here doesn't affect the visibility of a post. Downvotes don't delete your post from the thread.
I have no issue with r/politics other than it being called "politics" when it's clearly not. It's just straight up democratic underground moved to reddit.

Reddit.com is a bastion of psychotic thought. Of any nature. There is no rational thought on that website.

Yes, but tigerdroppings.com doesn't rank posts based on votes. Those posts get seen just like any other post.

Try and post a link on /r/politics and let me know how it goes...let me know if you can even find it after you post it.
Post something here negative about Trump and it will be visible for as long as you want it. You will be acknowledge, debated and yes, attacked. It will be freely visible and you will be free to say whatever you want.
Post something positive about Trump on /r/politics and watch it get deleted or silenced. Post a positive article about Trump and you won’t even be able to find it I guarantee.
And again, mods of /r/politics admitted to taking money from DNC/Hillary Campaign during the election cycle.

Typically the best part of Reddit is scrolling to the bottom and seeing what's sitting at -500 but yeah you're right, that's pretty ridiculous.

Nobody frequenting the PT board at TD can point fingers at other sites about bias.

I can certainly point out where Trumpkins whined about conservative attacks on Trump and the mod sided with the Trumpkins on this very board.
It seems liberals can attack Trump but conservatives can not. A conservative calling Trump out is the worst of offenses on TD. I think it makes Trumpkins uncomfortable to see they are supporting not so conservative policies like making a democrat the Commerce Secretary and a democrat the Chief of Staff ect.

A large percentage of the posters on Voat.co emigrated from Reddit.

Oh for the love of God... You have a voice, it's just that no one at that site wants to hear it because it disturbs their echo chamber.

Or the post is just deleted. I had one deleted a minute ago and I don’t even know why

Dude if there ever was a real Russian troll presence, it’s there. Literally the worst place on reddit
The irony being that they don’t see obvious Russian troll post like “how Bernie can still win the election” with 10000k upvotes 5minutes after being posted at 11-1-16

We’re the silent majority. I loved how one of Trumps slogans during his campaign was “The Silent Majority”. He gave us a voice again because we were too afraid to speak up because we were always criticized and were accused of being racist if we didn’t agree with democratic politicians, mainly Obama and Clinton

I'm not looking for a safe space. I'll debate any Democrat/liberal any day. What I do care about is being able to present facts and have an honest conversation even if that person disagrees with me.

That, and who gives a shite if liberals are censored?

True that is why I am here...wink wink. But it's still a problem when these large social media sites that pretty much have a monopoly are biased against anything that does not fit their narrative. Liberal ideas are upheld while conservative ideas are shunned or silenced completely.

Nah. You don't seem to understand. Go look it up. You have to have karma to post on many subreddits. It's to keep out trolls with no post history. When someone upvotes your comment you get one karma. It's like an honor system.

I fail to see your point. So I just joined today. That a problem for you?
