This is one of the top stories on Reddit.
Some of the top comments on the Reddit story are calling for her death. No moderation. No dissent.
Reddit is going to get HAMMERED once it goes public.
- spaetzleesser 5y agoI don't really wish her death but I definitely would like old people like Biden, Pelosi and Clinton go away and not f..k up the country even more. Hopefully they will go away before they die but I am not so sure they have the sense to retire.
- cwkoss 5y agoNancy Pelosi has done orders of magnitude more harm to our country than many people that have been given the death penalty. I don't wish for her death, but I certainly think we'd be better off if she was no longer in power. Additionally the lack of consequences for her corruption harms public trust in our electoral system.

- piaste 5y agoI don't quite understand your comment. You seem upset at the sight of the unwashed masses hollering against the haughty elites, but at the same time you sound gleeful over the prospect of Reddit being punished for insufficiently protecting the feelings of said elite. Is that a correct reading?
- Freskis 5y agoA top comment on one of the most popular websites in the world is calling for the death of a politician based on no evidence whatsoever. Perhaps this is normal to you, but not to me, or any of the advertisers who pay money to advertise on Reddit. If you think that it's normal to call for the death of a politician based on no evidence of a crime, then perhaps other lower-quality websites may be a better fit for you, rather than Hacker News?
- therealdrag0 5y agoIt's normal in that Reddit has been like this for some time? It's not like this is new information for investors or advertisers.
- diveanon 5y agoI think there is plenty of evidence that she and her husband have been profiting off of insider info for decades. I’ll say it here too, the gerontocracy needs to die if we are going to fix the problems this country faces.
- piaste 5y ago> A top comment on one of the most popular websites in the world You could just as easily be describing YouTube or Instagram comments, which regularly feature humanity at its worst and dumbest. Why would you expect Reddit to be any better, when it has millions of users? Your second sentence is pure trolling and I will turn the same question over to you. Pointless, sanctimonious outrage doesn't belong on Hacker News.
- AllegedAlec 5y agoThat assumes they're not correct
- coolspot 5y agoSome subreddits were banned for such comments. Will reddit ban r/politics ? (I know the answer)
- NoGravitas 5y agoHell, /r/chapotraphouse was banned for allowing members to call for the death of 19th century slave owners. Sitewide rule enforcement on R*ddit is pretty arbitrary and at the convenience of the admins.
- oh_sigh 5y agoThat's not why chapotraphouse was banned. You can still find tons of links on shitredditsays pointing out members of that sub calling for the death of still-living people, or entire races of people. For example, see the not-very-subtly coded references to baseball, referring to the assassination of Scalise.
- democratscumz 5y agoGood! She does deserve death! FUCK THAT BITCH!
