Reddit's View of Ron Paul

[TortoiseDream]

If you're curious, I made two threads in two subreddits:

http://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/f1eqv/what_does_reddit_think_of_ron_paul/

Some think he's okay, most of them have no idea what they're talking about.

It has been my experience that Reddit is very liberal/leftist. What did you expect their answers to be?
That being said Reddit has some awesome subreddits, and I visit regularly.

Most of the users on reddit are socially inept, autistic kids, who are easily amused by pictures of cats. They're also socialists that don't have a basic understand of economics to top it off.

They're very susceptible to groupthink though, so swaying them might not be difficult.

I know two people who are reddit zealots. They actually get calls from them, not sure why -- and they are liberals/leftists and ANYTHING republican, ANYTHING - is evil evil evil. They are extremely partisan and not very knowledgeable on the real workings of things. I think they are the "normal" ones there..

What do you mean by that?

If you wanna know what reddit thinks of Ron Paul, just look at the questions submitted for the 'reddit interviews Paul' video and the post interview responses. I'm an atheist, but holy shit there are some extreme atheist assholes on reddit and they REALLY focus only on that one issue. Paul believes in creationism, so they call him deranged old kook who doesn't understand science, but Obama says the kinds of things demonstrated in the video below yet somehow attacks on him for his religious beliefs are nowhere to be found:

I use reddit everyday, and most of the people there are retarded psuedo-liberals with no clue what they are talking about.

They browse and often steal stuff off of 4chan, so no surprise there

seems the easiest way to hopefully open them up to ron paul's message is to hammer home foreign policy and occupation and the fact that obama endorsed bush's foreign policy from day one and continues it today!!

Just unsubscribie from r/politics and add these subs instead

http://www.reddit.com/r/Economics/

Oh, and I love the cat pictures!


EDIT: I'm pretty sure a lot of those people are trolling you. There is a good amount of love and knowledge of Ron Paul. If anything....the reddit hivemind is starting to turn on Obama, now that his true colors are starting to shine.
