That wide sweeping brush you're using. Must be heavy. Reddit™ isn't to blame that Republicans politicians are pretty despicable and prove that their only goal is to pander to monied interest, use religion to push their agendas and in some instances use the deep seated issues of race to their advantage. Notice I said some.   Reddit™ does not automatically bow to the Obama overlords. There is a long list of things that people from all political ideologies would agree are problematic when it comes to this president.   From /r/conspiracy[1] , /r/conservative[2] , /r/republican[3] , /r/liberal[4] , /r/EnoughLibertarianSpam[5] , /r/progressive[6] I never see a realm hive mind that sees the President as all good and without fault. You wish to see that. I will say that Fox News seems to always find problem with the President. Even when he has obviously done good. But that is the agenda of Fox News. /r/conservative[7] and /r/republican[8] have never found anything good to say about: Liberals Progressives Democrats Obama You wish to view Reddit™ as being Anti-Republicans may not be completely untrue. Maybe there's a reason for that. But anytime a Republican politician actually pushes for or says something positive. Something common sense. People do not wave their pitchforks. I think people are hungry to applaud a Republican politician when they do well. When they support good things. It is not the fault of Reddit™ that most of the bad ideas are coming from the political right. There isn't any Reddit Bully Squad™ picking on Republicans. Just people disliking their proposals and stances throughout the last few decades. There are plenty of other reasons. But this soapbox is getting wobbly.
