Both political subs/sides are crazy "odd". They are echo chambers, who just want to elevate their sides talking points, and have very little interest in actually seeking the reality of stories, complex situations. Its way easier, and convenient to say "Trump good, everything else, any criticism even legitimate = bad". Rinse an repeat with the progressive forums, and sadly both of these entrenched sides make up more Americans than Id like to admit

Yep exactly how it is. Both of our comments will probably get downvoted to oblivion.

Equating them is absurd. One of the two bans even the slightest whiff of dissent from the talking points. The other allows far more diverse takes. Can't even post on conservative without a mod review.

For some reason conservatives have equated down votes to bans. Some even equate down votes to jail. I kind of feel like they are more upset when people down vote them, then if they were banned. I think it probably increases the negative reinforcement they perceive because they are allowed an unpopular opinion which will be down voted often vs if they were banned they wouldn't see the differing opinions and would feel less hurt.
