I know this isn't popular with the pitchfork crowd.
But with so much evidence coming to light about astroturfing and sock puppet accounts manipulating opinion online.
I'm not surprised to see a karma cap on r/politics.
It's a delicate balance of free speech for all, and combating those with a legit agenda.
Even in the beginning /r/politics was one of the only places where people were completely uncivil
It's not a circle jerk at all, it's a propaganda outlet
To be honest, though, fuck Mitch McConnell.
I'm sure it's a shit "article" though, and shit comments. It's probably for the best that they put a cap on it, there's legit botnets for this sort of thing.
Nobody likes Mitch McConnell.
But you have to act pretty deranged to get people to take HIS side.
The headline is all you need to know about democrats' political tactics this year.
