https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/7szc5h/announcement_shareblue_has_been_removed_from_the/ https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/7szc5h/announceme... r/politics is just as tilted left and used by propaganda groups as r/donald is tilted right. If you think either side has a monopoly on rationality and pure intentions, you are deceiving yourself.

moving the goalposts. r/poltitics is certainly tilted left, but is not filled with false left-wing propaganda illegally created by a foreign enemy. ShareBlue is not a propaganda arm of a foreign enemy, it is a US-based partisan blog, and additionally the accusation here is that they commented without disclosure of their affiliation. that is nothing like the coordinated propaganda, false/stolen US identities, wire fraud, and other scam operations sponsored by the Russian government. There is no criminal indictment against ShareBlue.

  These supposed foreign entities helped just as many people on the left, like Bernie and impersonated left-leaning entities like Black Lives Matter. And their involvement was minimial (100k) compared to what the major political parties were spending on the election. Hillary spent 1.5 billion dollars.

      Reddit had to tune its algorithm to make the_donald stop appearing on the front page. And it wasn't Russian bots upvoting Trump stuff. It was people who actually liked and voted for Trump. However you want to slice it, a good portion of this country voted for Trump on their own accord. Not because of Russians, but because they actually liked Trump. No one disputes this. So stop with the Russian bullshit. It just makes the left look like idiots, like they're trying to come up with a reason Hillary lost when in reality people just disagreed with what Hillary had to say. People are tired of this Russian stupidity. Everyone knows it doesn't pass the smell test. It's been years investigating this and the world's premier spy apparatus can't dig the dirt up on Trump. Think about what that tells you.
