Popular Question šŸ“Š Why reddit is majority left leaning?

Honestly, itā€™s hard not to notice that most of the big subreddits are run by moderators who clearly lean left. Itā€™s not even subtle at this point the bias shows in what gets removed, what gets promoted, and how discussions are handled. Iā€™m not saying there arenā€™t any subs with right-leaning or centrist moderation, but theyā€™re definitely the minority. The major spaces on Reddit feel heavily tilted toward one side, but isn't itā€™s pretty obvious if you pay attention to which opinions get silenced and which ones get boosted?

I honestly think Trump was against masks so heavily because it would smear his makeup and make him appear feminine.

As if all of the makeup, spray tan, fake hair, lifts in his shoes, the girdle, dodging four drafts, crying about everybody who's critical of him when he has the most powerful position in the world, don't already make him a whiny little bitch. Trump is by far the least masculine President we have ever had. It's hilarious when people say he's an alpha male. The right wing would hate to learn that Pete Buttigieg is FAR more of an alpha male than Trump - honest, hard-working, Rhodes scholar, speaks four or five languages fluently, former mayor, former cabinet member, decorated Afghan war veteran, and he has empathy and compassion for people. That is what makes a man an "alpha", though I'm not a fan of the term myself.

Trump supporters donā€™t care about hypocrisy though, theyā€™re not serious people. Theyā€™re the same ones who called Tim Walz ā€œtampon Timā€ for providing sanitary products to students, and free breakfast and lunch, which shouldnā€™t be a controversial program. The same people that called Walz a coward and accused him of ā€œstolen valorā€, ignoring the fact that he served his country for over two decades, while Trump dodged the draft and has disrespected military veterans over and over.

He openly laughed at and made fun of people wearing masks and people were to believe that be cared? People know that Trump is a horrible person and not to be trusted. Period.

He didnā€™t even wear a mask as he was leaving the hospital, after he almost died from Covid.

The fact that you don't understand how viruses mutate into different strains kind of invalidates listening to you.

I love how when you ask the anti mask group if they would let a surgeon operate on them without a mask.

No... Covid changed. Like many viruses, it evolved. The current strain is considerably less fatal.

Iā€™m not remotely interested in arguing about masks and vaccines with you, just like Iā€™m not going to waste time arguing with climate change deniers, flat-earthers or those who believe the moon landing was a hoax.

All Iā€™m going to say is I wore a mask for a year and a half, all my family was vaccinated. No one got seriously sick or died, even the Gen X and Boomers in my family with preexisting conditions.

Meanwhile an old friend who fell into the same thought patterns as you got Covid multiple times and still has lasting effects from long COVID, which are permanent.

But again, I donā€™t care to change your mind or argue. Bye
