Please join Reddit

And bring some pro Hillary energy to the forum. It's being drowned out by insane Trump kids. Yes, I know the majority of the site is made up of boys aged 9-12, but there is a Hillary Clinton group that could use some help.

Anything positive said about the DNC or Clinton is instantly downvoted to oblivion.

I have a feeling I won't have many takers on this, but if you have the time...why not? At least build up the r/HillaryClinton sub.

Take a look at r/conspiracy. The Trumpkins and anti-Hillary faction are strong on that site.

... do there seem to be many internet comment sites that have been taken over by angry conservatives, I wonder? Comments in Yahoo are generally crazy and ultra-conservative too.

Maybe it's a great escape for them to finally reveal their hate and bigotry... anonymously?

Yesterday, after Trump asked Putin to hack into the State Department for him, it was a story that was barely visible on reddit. It got to maybe the 20th top story in the politics section. Meanwhile, the top 19 stories were all about DWS and emails from the DNC which showed mild annoyance with Sanders. Their priorities are completely out of whack and sending in reinforcements isn't going to change anything.
