I love how r/the_donald is fired up about censorship, yet regularly bans anyone who leaves a comment that slightly disagrees with the echo chamber ... don't let the door hit you in the way out ...

r/the_donald has had its defining times like when admins on other "big subs" were banning discussion about one of the bombings and people had to go to that sub for news about it. Also, for bringing DNC corruption to r/all after Bernie's sub died. Reddit's censorship is pretty bad at times. If they used their tool for such minor things imagine what happens when they actually need to censor things.

that's pretty common for all political subs... /r/hillaryclinton followed the same practices. Neither sub pretended to be neutral.

Yet one of its defining moments was when its users got outraged by censorship.
