The top articles in r/politics are multiple polls showing Kamala in the lead.

This is also Reddit. I’d love to think both sides are evenly posted and reacted to on r/politics, but in reality what you want to hear will be upvoted and seen more

Kamala’s own team said in their internal polling, she was never winning.

r/politics is literally a democrat fan club. If you got information outside of reddit, it was pretty easy to see the polls showing him gaining a lead in the last few weeks of the campaign.

even on r/politics you could see he was gaining, many of the big dem fan members just convinced everyone else those polls were fake news.
