Sorry bud, this is reddit. No freedom of speech, only "dems good, republicans bad"

How do you guys still have no idea what free speech is?

It's so bad that I almost think they must be doing it intentionally.

Reddit has the same proportionate amount of Dems and Repubs as real life, it’s just here it’s not gerrymandered

It is crazy how they let people vote that don't know that freedom of speech doesn't extend to a private company. Wild

🤣 my point is that if you voice a right leaning belief, you get talked down to and looked down on. A left belief is applauded and cheered. Another post on this sub said "there are too many political signs up, we should stop creating so much litter" and the guy who said "yeah I'm sick of seeing FJB and Trump signs" got 40+upvotes amd people agreeing, and the guy who said "yeah I'm sick of seeing Bernie sanders signs" got downvoted into oblivion. Despite the fact that the entire post was about signs as a whole, not certain party signs. So both statements should be viewed equally

Saying that republicans have freedom of speech in 2022 is like saying the LGBT community had it in the 80s. Sure, you can voice your opinion, but nobody is going to like it.

My brother in Christ, you are witnessing free speech in action. You are just on the unpopular end of it in this particular scenario.

Rs are soooo repressed /s You got your head so far up your ass you can't smell the shit anymore. Since when has people agreeing with your opinions had anything to do with freedom of speech? You just compared republicans to a minority group that was (and still is) being persecuted by republicans. How a human brain can not see the absolute ridiculousness of that statement is beyond me.

Did I say repressed? And the only thing I compared is how their speech is demonized

Maybe it's because you rarely see a Bernie sign and it's not as big of an eye sore as driving up the street with an obnoxious amount or giant trump sign. I don't think I've ever even see a massive Bernie sign. I understand what you are saying but they are two completely different levels of annoying.

Just to clarify, my ideology leans left, but wow are the democrats stupid sometimes. Yall think "my way or the highway" and don't budge an inch. And then get mad at the Republicans for doing the same.

"Well my way is better" welcome to Earth. Everyone thinks that their point of view is the perfect/least flawed one. But unless you're even willing to listen to the other side, you're just as guilty

Notice how your comment is still there? The downvotes dont mean you cant talk, they just mean no one here agrees with you.

And clearly, the state at-large disagreed with you too lmao

TIL that downvoting and even just disagreeing with someone is considered a free speech violation.

Your inner fascist is showing, buddy!
