Voat News and Politics
A space where submissions related to BOTH politics and general news can be posted without censorship.
We ask that subscribers self-moderate by both using their votes on submissions and comments and by reporting spam/illegal content for removal.
If someone is rude let them know with your vote. It is not the role of the moderators to police "politeness".
If you think a comment or a post is quality, up-vote it.
Have fun and use your votes!
PLEASE UPVOTE ARTICLES YOU LIKE!!
