View submission: [Meta] Political commentary in this sub
Please show me a single post that is filled with comments like that where they haven't already been removed. Anytime it does pop up, we remove them if we see them or they are reported.
Meanwhile, all the way at the bottom will be one or two conservative leaning posts on the topic which are substantive and filled with facts and reasoning, yet have dozens of downvotes.
As I have said elsewhere in this thread, mods have zero control over this. Downvotes are community driven, and what you may see as "facts and reasoning", others likely see as misinformation. This sub (and Reddit as a whole) do tend to lean left, so you're likely fighting an uphill battle already and should do your best to "kill them with kindness" as they say and stick to just the facts rather than insults.
If you honestly stick to these guidelines, every political post on this sub will literally be dead because 99% of the comments will be deleted,
Not true at all, there are plenty of comments in political posts that are on topic and respectful. What you don't see as an end user are the dozens of comment from both sides we already filter for hateful, insulting behavior.

I wasn't complaining about downvotes. Just pointing it out because of how blatantly obvious it is how partisan reddit is as a whole. And to be honest, any comment that even gives an explanation with facts (A fact is a fact, not subjective) is automatically better than anyone who just says something like what I mentioned in my original comment.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that reddit overall is majority left leaning. I have seen many posts with comments like I mentioned that were not removed up until that point. It's like you said, "If we see them or reported." Yeah, that's a big IF.
My point stands. Have a great day.
