r/politics drives me nuts. I'm pretty interested in politics, but that sub mostly seems to be "I hate Republicans" posts. Like, they've frustrated me lately too, but it's just too much hate over there. Everyone condemns hate until politics come up.
It's most certainly cause well, /r/teenagers is so filled and reddit became younger and younger and thus the opinions are rather uninformed, heavily emotional and very binomial thinking. I wouldn't wonder if the most active ones in /r/politics are also teenagers and thus the heavy excluding policing happening there. Anything that is remotely trying to make a neutral discussion is put on one side or the other, no shades in between, no way to actually discuss something reasonably.

For most of the time, Reddit is filled with r/teenagers, r/meme and r/politics users.
Now it makes all the sense why there’s so much troll posts on Reddit.
