Seems weird that people use a subreddit about DC to get insight on the federal government. Aren’t there better subreddits than just this one, where it’s more about the people who live in DC separate from Congress

> to get insight

They don't come here for the insights. A lot of subs dedicated to major cities have this same problem. There is probably an element of the urban hate that runs through a lot of conservative talking points at work.

americans, and reddit mouthbreathers specifically have never been able to separate:

Washington DC - the great city to live in

and

Washington DC - THE SWAMP

so this sub gets a lot of topical discussion from incel dipshits that live in their parents' idaho basements

i remember guys arguing with me about like, seth rich's route home who very obviously have never visited the east coast of the united states much less DC specifically

hell we had multiple fake news influence campaigns in this sub during the BLM protests - anyone remember the day that all these fake accounts were pouring in to say that the federal government shut off internet / cell data downtown one night?
