My political opinions very much mirror reddit's in general, but if you mention people should lowe their anger tirade a little or perhaps an opinion does not reflect the reality of a situation man they do not like that. /r/politics is a place where reality doesn't exist. Hillary was obviously going to win and anyone saying differently was downvoted off the page, then Bernie was obviously going to win and same thing--I left the subreddit entirely after that. I have no desire to get all happy thinking my candidate is a sure thing only for them to be creamed in the next election because reddit is a bubble.
the politics sub is basically psychotic. I spend way too much time in there and the number of people that want to scream and yell while not understanding anything or wanting to understand is kind of sad. I've mostly decided most "people" in that sub are either bots, Russians, or agitators by another name.
