I don't think that's it.
No I mean the lefty one
I think it's more the fact the Democrats are targeting his seat with all their money and influence.
They think they're safer than they are
Well, from what I've read from Texans on gun forums they lost a lot of respect for him at the end of the campaign.
Perhaps. But are they still planning to vote for him?
I wouldn't exactly call Beto gun-friendly.
And that vote is what matters at the end of the day.
@Beemann I think it's already undergone that purge and has been growing.
If they aren't enthusiastic about voting for him, and think he's going to win anyway because it's Texas, then they might stay home assuming the seat is safe.
Which is how you lose.
But the reason they're not enthusiastic about voting for him has nothing to do with Beto spamming ads.
Nah, I think they got smacked a bit and have mostly been ignored. Like how Anons were for a while. They're also compromised anyway
What with all the front page curating and modshit
I think the big "organic" net neutrality stunt they pulled removed any notion of objectivity.
down to the minute of hate every time someone says "ajit pai"
Absolutely
Except it trickles into the real world. Almost every kid I see has an unseen hatred for Pai.
It's frankly terrifying.
It's a ministry of truth with the passions of the mob.
Right and I think that's only going to get worse as influence is exerted
Reddit has been nothing if not pliable over the years
I agree.
Reddit's not pliable. Reddit's *complicit*
On an admin level sure
I suspect no small fraction of this is coming straight from Reddit itself.
I'm referring to the userbase, only a portion of which is complicit

I suspect the majority of the userbase is outright brainwashed.
It's all gotta go though basically
The consolidation level is too high
They embody the hivemind in all walks of their life.
No, it doesn't. Power being centralized does not imply a devolution of power.
If anything, it only becomes increasingly hardened with time.
Power being centralized makes it ripe for absolute fuckery
Which is what is happening.
Right, so what I'm saying is the way to handle it is to kick out the support beams, or let someone else do it for you
