Reddit is not even pretending to be fair and balanced. They lean far to the left (or pander to them) and the front page is often filled with anti-Trump, pro-Democrat propaganda.

Free and fair discussion is a lost cause on that platform, 45 has made anyone with conservative values an enemy.

Just like the banned subreddit /r/The_Donald, right?

Reddit would not allow Pro Trump posts.

Except - they explicitly state something along the lines of being a "24/7 pepe rally". /r/politics was a default sub that all new users saw when they signed up for reddit, or browsed without logging in.

They actively remove posts from that sub when they hit the front page.
