I feel like this article may be a bit unfair. It sounds like organically a community wields a large number of votes, and they aren't getting the same treatment as other communities on Reddit?
/r/the_donald is harassing moderators from other subreddits, the moderators take part in vote manipulation (for which their most active mod was recently banned). I actually wonder why the subreddit isn't shut down yet.
They said this before when overweight people didn't like to see posts from healthy-weight people.
Why don't they just state who the site is for in the TOS and people can decide up-front if its for them, instead of pretending to be organic and democratic? It's ok to lean right or left or fat, but state your mission.
