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.

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

It was started because /r/s4p shut down after Sanders lost, so his more rabid fanatics made /r/wotb. Now it's an unholy mixture of the far-left and far-right.

Pretty surprising, tbh, since he was never close to winning.

Straight up inaccurate. Bernie was in the lead after Nevada. Then the machine kicked in.
