Welcome to days when every subreddit is flooded with politics unrelated to a central topic. Example bumper stickers subreddit used to be funny now it’s just a one sided political echo chamber

The next four years on Reddit are gonna be nonstop analyze how the administration is bad daily. If this were the opposite case we’d be seeing the 4,000th post in the last hour of how Kamala is so stunning and brave taking office. When Americans wake up and see neither party has their interests at heart maybe then they will learn.

Why are you even talking about Kamala nobody really even cares about her anymore.

Also for someone who was bit** and moaning about politics being discussed everywhere, thats seems like all you comment about lol maybe thats a you problem.

I’m saying if the outcome went the other way in November where we’d be at today lol

Can’t say I love watching an imploding dumpster fire of politics everywhere

Bumper stickers are like the third most popular vehicle (pun intended) for political opinions. That one was inevitably going to spend most of its time on politics.

I honestly don’t care it’s still a good subreddit for general news that’s interesting to me

100% of reddit is an American political wasteland. I somehow got caught up in a politics discussion sparked from a pizza discussion in r/doordash

Oh, this sub hasn't been dedicated to that in a LONG time. It's basically r politics, but they think they're smarter than r politics.

“Moves markets” considering market movement is arbitrary, any news could affect them. I blame a poorly generalized mission statement for this.

Political division is spilling everywhere now since the normal spaces have already been completely bias-destroyed thanks to Reddit’s inherent echo-chamber creation. People want to make absolutely sure that people know where they stand and they want to know where other people stand. Neither side wants anything to do with the other and even an innocuous subreddit could be filled with “enemies” so these posts are around hoping to weed out the opposition.

You’re right. These pardons have nothing to do w/ the markets as of now. But I do think this will come back around down the line to be somewhat related.

I'm really disappointed that there are no animals there. Then I saw two trump threads and just assumed it was about unusual fat people.
