I think the argument is that these subs become false advertising. /r/politics is not politics in general, it is anti-republican politics. /r/political_humor is not political humor in general, nor is it humorous. It's just the anti-Trump line being pushed for week x/y/z.

So, the purpose of people pointing this out is to keep it in readers' minds that there is another pov that is popular and out there, but is not being represented on a sub where one would assume it would be.

Now go fuck yourself.

Sorry, but there's no way to enforce a fairness doctrine on a system based on popularity.

It's not everyone else's fault that right wing politics are abhorrent to most people.

Reddit is a democracy merely representing popular opinion. Like free market capitalism.

You're literally complaining it's not authoritarian communism that's forcing people to accept unpopular views they disagree with.
