Too galvanize more support Reddit should stay "PARTY neutral" towards activism...Re:Let's pick ONE Senator of voted for NDAA/SOPA
(downvotes please leave comment)
If a Reddit goes after sole politicians this site will end up becoming even further liberal/democratic biased*. I propose if action is to be taken against politicians for their support/position on a topic, the Reddit community should target TWO politicians, one from each party and the worst offenders and/or the easiest target from each.
Lets face it, both parties are corrupted by lobbyist and special interests, it's how either side are able to finance a/their winning campaigns.
Let's not give potential Reddit supporters/users a reason to turn from this open forum: treat both parties Republicans and Democrats equally when it comes to activism via Reddit.
Note: It is my belief that until the US: a) goes to rank choice voting, b) removes all private financial support in politic c) diminish special interest groups and lobbyists influence over politics e) politicians are given reasonable voice/public-financing to counter the private media, then our government will be unable to adequately represent the American people.
*by biased, I mean that it seems as though left leaning issues tend to get upvoted more often and therefore more exposure. I'd like to see reddit become an even larger community and therefore a stronger force. Its hard to attract conservatives, if there representatives are continuously targeted. About me: I'm an independent, and consider myself a liberal-libertarian, although 9/10 I swing democrat
