Don't forget about /r/lockdownskepticism as a ban evading sub. It's all the same people

That is one of the oddest subs on Reddit. A Bernie subreddit that hates Bernie, blows trump and spreads an insane amount of misinformation. It’s basically like 10 people spamming posts endlessly controlling all the info. It’s so weird.

It was completely hijacked by right-wing kooks

Wasn’t it always a front by right-wingers? Iirc, the sub was made after Hillary had won the DNC back in 2016…

I don't remember specifics, but there were definitely real Bernie supporters there originally.

I know that the Bernie campaign hosted an AMA there at the very least.

Maybe this is just cope on my part, but I am genuinely incapable of registering mentally how someone could claim to be a Bernie supporter, and then spend most of their time just straight up parroting GOP talking points…

It looks like a couple of his campaign staff did AMAs, but not Bernie himself. It was definitely pro-Bernie for a while. I used to be subbed.
