Do you not understand how Reddit works? Every user is equal. Liking Sanders is popular on the internet. Same with hating Hillary which you and Fulgore do a lot. It's the same reason why Bernie Sanders is winning this thread, and Hillary only has 3 votes. It's nothing to do with hi-jacking.

I don't hate Hillary, I just like Trump. My issue with Reddit being hijacked as a platform for Bernie Sanders is that the sole existence of Reddit is to provide "social news." That is not what they do with Bernie Sanders. Every thread in /r/politics and /r/news that
positively influences Sanders is voted up, and every thread that
negatively influences Trump or Clinton is voted up. That isn't how the Reddit upvote system is supposed to work.
From their site:

If you think something contributes to conversation, upvote it. If you think it does not contribute to the subreddit it is posted in or is off-topic in a particular community, downvote it.

Yet and still, Bernie Sanders will be plastered all over /r/all when he wins a state, and the other two candidates are burried in negatives when they win.
This is no different than the influence of a major news network like CNN sensationalizing stories for ratings. Reddit literally has a way to suppress news they don't want you to see and to highlight news they do want you to see. That's arguably more poisonous than anything any major news network does...
The ****master himself even makes appearances, begging for donations:

So, when will Reddit either fix vote brigading or announce their official endorsement of Sanders? It needs to be one or the other.
