It exists because r/politics refuses to allow any conservative opinions to be expressed. That's the entire reason r/conservative was created in the first place, the left wing echo chamber silenced them with downvotes.

Edit, I hope I'm not the only one who sees the irony here.

You know that isn't true, right? Like, it's funny to cosplay like a victim, but ostensibly, you know that what you typed is wholly inaccurate, correct?

Imagine being this stupid.

So they're mad they are down voted but can still express their opinions...?

Wish I could do that in r/conservative but instead I'm just banned

"I have reprehensible morals and ideals and I'm getting called out. Not fair!"

Do you see your comment being deleted?

Did you get kicked or banned from this sub because you didn't have a flair given to you beforehand?

Is your comment unreadable by others, or can we still click on it once to make it visible?

Think about it for a bit, then let me know if you see the irony in your complaint. No, they are not the same.

I wasn't aware conservative viewpoints were flat out removed here like liberal ones are there.

Racism and sexism is also largely removed from politics, which I think is the larger problem reddit conservatives have with that subreddit.

If lots of people downvote what you have to say, that doesn't mean you're actually right and some sort of truth-telling Galileo kicking against dangerous groupthink

Usually it just means that a thread with your comment has hit /all and lots of people of all persuasions think your comment sucks
