ChapoTrapHouse, which was the largest left wing sub. Edit (since I can't reply): r/politics is American liberalism, which is centrist.

"Largest left wing sub" is probably too broad a term when /r/politics exists. "Largest far-left frequently rule-breaking sub" is a more useful designation.

  We need some sort of logic behind words and meaning. To call /r/politics or CNN etc left wing is too much. I don’t have an exact argument on hand. It just feels so wrong to subvert the expectation of a word or phrase this much to casually call stuff like this left wing. As op said: “ Edit (since I can't reply): r/politics is American liberalism, which is centrist.” I don’t care about being that specific. Just don’t call it left wing. Your bias is really showing in your second paragraph. So it’s not about rule breaking repeatedly like many subreddits including I bet /r/politics? There’s a certain frequency with which it has to occur? I Highly doubt that guideline has been followed consistently.
