RULES:

Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
Absolutely no NSFL content.
Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.

Reddit has always been democratic. Theres some offshoot subreddits that are a cesspool for republicans. But they isolate themselves.

I meant as part of creating and fostering gamergate. The GG subreddit was pretty big. And talking about Trump, /r/TheDonald was pretty big and fairly influential, as far as subreddits go.

Im unfamiliar with gamergate. The internet says it was 4chan and other trolls. And like i said those subreddits were isolated in my viewpoint. /trump and all other conservative communities would commonly ban anyone with a different opinion than the hive mind. No room for discussion. /news was always posting stories of republicans being shitheads. And people wouldnt get banned for just having an opinion, theyd just get downvoted into oblivion.

Atleast this was all how i tailored my reddit feed when i used. I had no desire to see bullshit lies from republican news sites. So maybe my viewpoint was mostly democratic...

I didn't mean they represented a common sentiment or viewpoint, rather that Reddit was an important platform for them
