View submission: Suspected Campaign from Russia on Reddit
That's the thing a lot of people miss: we've always been biased in our politics. We just live in a time where information can be acquired so quickly and the new cycle is so fast that what used to be visible among a person and their circle of influence is now on display for everyone to see. I feel it's very important not to give up and, in fact, to push through the nonsense and think about what logically makes sense to you but also be open to changing your opinions.

I think it's ridiculous to expect people to have no bias.
I'm biased towards helping others the same way I'd want to be helped. Accusing me of having that bias doesn't lessen the value in my view.
We aren't robots.

It seems like political groups try to make people focus on specific issues that provoke our indignation on each subject so that we fall more easily into an “us vs them” mentality. If we instead discussed our personal values that lead us to those feelings I think we’d all find a common ground we didn’t know existed
