If any of you post there semi regularly, worth considering. There are libs who spam orange man bad content, but leftist stuff gets upvoted. Gotta duke it out with shitlibs in the comments though, but once something gets to the front page it’s pretty visible and can help push back on obvious DNC astroturfing in r/politics

    Closing the sub for a joke wasn’t OK.

    I totally realize most people are going to disagree with me here but I feel compelled to say that closing the sub for a joke wasn’t a very kind thing to do. We have seen TONS of posts from vulnerable shitlibs talking about how this sub is a source of income from the DNC and self-congratulatory masturbation in a dark time. Bootlicking and brunch aside, taking away that support without warning was not okay.

    You can say I’m being silly, or humorless or reactionary. Whatever. I love Kamala Harris and I love this community. But sometimes I come home after dealing with my trust fund and nonprofit job all day, and this sub is one of many things that make me feel better. It wasn’t a good feeling to find this sub closed for the sake of irony. Maybe that’s laughable or pathetic. But for me, it’s true.
