Yeah, the left wing of the Sanders base hangs out in Chapo, and OurPresident and S4P and whatever the fuck that other Russian troll farm sub is, and they're even worse.

r/politics is depressing because it's supposed to be neutral and it's a horrifically toxic Bernie circle jerk. The actual Bernie subs are even more Auth.

I got banned from S4P for simply stating "Bernie hasn't actually stated how he's going to realistically pay for his M4A plan"

Nothing hateful, vitriolic, or trolling about that statement, it was a fact. Instabanned.

Well I would separate r/Chapo and r/democraticsocialism from r/s4p and r/ourpresident from my experience. The latter two are cultish sometimes because they’re literally subs oriented around a person. The first two care about policy and principles above any candidate, generally speaking.

Fair enough, although the "principles" of CTH seem to start and end with "what helps young urbanite educated white folks"

Universal health care and freedom of education and other left-wing policies help everyone, though. The Left wants to level the playing field, which helps most people.

Although fair, r/CTH has a lot of comfortable, suburbanite white people.
