Poll of the Day > Hahaha. Reddit sub The Donald has been quarantined.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Tech companies and many major websites are trying to sway elections. It's really not even a secret anymore. They've said as much. And like someone else said, big shocker this happens right before the dem debate

Wait I just realized that Reddit is suppressing a major political party.
This is a huge violation of free speech
lmfao.

A single subreddit is hardly a major political party

Now, now. Wouldn't want the reggresives to deny what is obvious.

I am pretty sure Google and all social medias would openly come out, with a microphone, with big neon lights saying "WE ARE OPENLY BIASED AND WILL CENSOR THE RIGHT" and the idiots would still claim it's not true.

if i ran a big social media company, I'd censor all the toxic assholes, too, so it's good that they are.

That's the thing though. They're secretively censoring only the toxic assholes that suits their obvious agenda. As someone else said, there are plenty of groups on reddit that have the same issues but are left up

there really isn't anything more toxic than td besides /pol/.

That or they would say it's for the greater good to silence people that they dont agree with. The echo chamber is good for society right? Silence good. Communication bad

I only censor the toxic assholes I disagree with tbh.

And I'm sure all of that toxicity comes from the trump supporters right? Naw it doesn't

no, it does

You're a frequent visitor?

More proof that its not inhabited solely by trump supporters. If there's anything I know about leftists, it's that they cant just stand idly by while people have their own group with ideas they disagree with. Gotta go antifa on those assholes

Boomers who believe in Qanon are the only thing more toxic than /pol/.

that is 100% what you're doing right now lmao

As much as I dislike Trump and his supporters, reddit as a site is gross-- it's pretty much just liberal dogma/propaganda, and a lot of FWL's silencing anything that goes against the grain of their beliefs. Basically potd mods but on a bigger scale.

no one gets 20 years for weed unless a LOT of money is involved lol

the dude was doing a lot more than just smoking it Im sure.

and i know a lot of right-leaning people who enjoy marijuana/work in the industry.

I mean in 3 strike states you could get life for 3 counts of possession.

i really cannot imagine being friends with a trump supporter or even interacting with one unless i absolutely had to

And your attitude is exactly why Trump got elected in the first place.

TheWitchMorgana posted...

when it's politics that directly affect my life i can't really afford to set that aside unfortunately

it must be nice to be able to though

Assuming you pay taxes, virtually all policies directly affect your life.

I'm really curious as to what policy changes have directly affected your life

I lost my healthcare, haven't been to the doctor in a while, when I did get the healthcare I got shitty poor person healthcare. My whole family? 10 year old sister, hasn't been to the doctor in 3 years.

Directly Republican's fault.

Thankfully the Republicans haven't busted up my union yet. I get paid $13 an hour thanks to my union. I hear every Republican I work with complain about their union dues, which doesn't come close to eclipsing the raises for this very low skill job.

My bosses son is facing 20 years for weed. She also smokes weed. Guess what? Hardcore Republican. It's her fault her own son is in jail.

Turns out voting for stupid shit has consequences.

If it's a matter of losing "free" healthcare, that's something you should have been paying for yourself all along. Because thanks to "free" healthcare being given out, my premiums went up and so did my taxes.

I feel like the left realizes what's going on but they perceive it as being ok because they feel it's a victory for their political leanings but it's obvious that big tech companies are actively working to wash the internet of anything that isnt negative propaganda about trump or conservatives. Its already been found that google algorithms make it so that negative trump pieces are the first 5 or so results for anything trump related. But you people are so short sighted that you see this as a good thing and dont see the long term damage of a corporate entity having so much control over the information we have access to. This is something the left and right should be unified on. Many on the left pretend to hate corporations until they're silencing people they dont like.

First they came for the nazis and I did not protest because I was not a nazi

Then they came for the incels and I did not protest because I was not an incel

Then they came for the red caps and I did not protest because lmao fuckem

Once again, seeing only the short term. Honestly, if it wasnt for me being worried about where this will eventually go, I'd love to see them eradicate obama or similar reddit groups to see the left scream and cry and be hypocritical as usual. But I actually care about maintaining dialogue between people I disagree with instead of silencing them to make my peepee hard

Wow, looks like some posters here are terribly censored.

So why is it that liberal leftist communities never get banned when they do exactly the same? I don't know how many times I've seen them propagating violence against Trump as "the resistence", they have never been removed from anywhere.

On the other hand, it's not shocking that most platform providers, including this site, have liberal values.

Healthcare sucked under Obama as well. Healthcare hasn't stopped sucking here ever

Yes, but it's directly Trump that made raised the bar for Medicaid.

Well thanks to my union, I should be able to enroll in January because my union benefits include Insurance.

I'm sorry about your taxes, though. My family should have just bitten the bullet and not gone to the doctor at all after my dad left 6 years ago. I agree, my single mother, supporting a family of 4? Man, fucking leech. Obama sucked.

No, Obama sucked because he didn't go full Medicare for all and cut out the insurance middle man as every other modern country has done. Instead, he went with a centrist plan that was meant to drag the US's feet. He compromised with a bunch of evil Republicans and we got half evil.

I'd describe not caring about 40,000 Americans dying from healthcare every year as pretty evil, or dim at the very best. The Republicans goal is not to find a mysterious privatized solution to this problem, it's to pretend they care and fear monger about subsidizing healthcare.

We don't have private firefighters, private police, private armies, and we don't need private healthcare. No other civil country does. Time and place. >_>

I'm going to disagree. It wasn't a center plan, it was literally a plan proposed by the heritage foundation, and championed by candidates like Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney. He didn't even get a public option in there.

They just passed a law in Alabama to let churches have private police forces.

There was also that story a few years back in Tennessee where the firefighters stood by and let a home burn to the ground over a firefighter fee of $75.

And of course we have mercenaries. And even border patrol vigilantes holding people at gun point that the us border patrol was ok working with.

All of these are of course issues as well, but we do have them.

My grandma was a single mother with SIX kids (or, in other words, a family of SEVEN) and she never once thought about relying on a government handout. The idea that people need handouts to survive is ludicrous and perpetuates a culture of dependency that fetters away tax dollars in addition to helping drive costs for *everybody else* in the system. And make no mistake about it --- creating and perpetuating systems of dependency is an evil unto itself. Likewise, giving complete control over who lives and dies to the government -- which happens in exclusively government-run systems -- is another kind of evil, especially considering the very-high-profile examples of governments who denied care to people THEN denied them from seeking care elsewhere. While the US has its healthcare problems, we don't ban people from seeking treatment abroad.

My mom was a single mother of 3, and some government handouts (while she worked multiple jobs) allowed her to go back to school and get a Master's Degree for a better future. I think it's good to aim for better opportunities for everyone. We're also several generations past the point where a single income and six children is nearly livable. People can barely support just themselves.

way too late. they should have been banned way back when they supported and advertized a neo-Nazi rally, then tried to act innocent after one of their own murdered a woman.

If they're life or death services, they don't belong in the private market.

Well, your grandma either didn't get healthcare or was fortunate enough to have access to healthcare.

It doesn't change the fact that today 40,000 people die in the US annually from lack of insurance, and that doesn't happen in other countries.

And it's not a handout. It's just paid for in taxes rather than checks to private insurance companies. See, we get something for our money. Frankly, I'm sick of giving the US army handouts.

There is a good chance the transition won't be totally smooth, but these price gauging fine-line reading private companies have to go. They've made an absolute mess. They deny people coverage, and their bottom line is always maximizing profit over saving lives.
