r/conservative mods handed out bans for anyone even asking a legit question. Conservative arguments aren't fact based, so any good faith argument is seen as an attack and the only defense is to reject it outright. I don't know how good moderation can be applied to that.

My oven also has broil. No idea.

Are you referring to oven settings?

If so i have no idea and have also wondered this often.

Then why does my oven have both Bake and Roast settings?

What was the last decade where that happened?

If you vote for villains, you are a villain.

That's a bad therapist. Definitely try another, and another two or three.

Even a good therapist may not be good for you.

And the citizens at the receiving end of the misconduct are also the ones whose taxes pay for this.

What a system.

I would expect it to mean that there is different content in the communities because they are different in nuanced ways. Having people who consistently, intentionally post duplicate content to these communities dilutes those differences, turning them all into copies of each other.

Tabe it to the extreme: If every instance had a /c/technology that had all of the exact same posts on them, what is the point? That's why I think this behavior should be discouraged.

True. But it is what most of us are talking about here.

Would you be a centrist in 1930s Germany too?

Well said. I'm saving this.

Ah yes, the classic conservative "both sides" argument.

Because the republicans work very hard to make it difficult for people who would likely vote democrat.

I would decide which is worse: the things I listed, or the things the voter may dislike about liberal policies like free healthcare for all.

No, but you are still voting to support all those other things when you vote republican

I think you are referring to democratic socialism.

There's a difference between being exposed to a range of views and being exposed to hatred.

What's the thumball useful for?
