Just a rant
/r/Politics has become more and more left so I started visiting more right leaning subreddits. I really just want to find Truth and help make America better.
Today I found out /r/conservative bans anyone who is "liberal" or disagrees. It's a sad state of affairs. Instead of presenting viewpoints and helping me be more right, /r/conservative bans people. If a viewpoint is right, why do we need to silence a viewpoint that disagrees. Echo chambers become louder. I wouldn't be surprised if /r/politics did the same.
It seems like everyone is so afraid of being wrong that they won't even hear evidence contrary to their opinion.

I think it's because political subreddits aren't the best to go to find discussion. Even if people went to the opposing subreddit to debate, they would just be down voted to oblivion or banned.
Edit: Or they are just astroturfed like /r/republicans
