    To those asking about the imbalance— it’s money. Just like older forms of media (print, radio, tv) there’s much deeper pockets for right-wing “funding” than on the left. And many left leaning outlets/personalities will turn down cash flows that might limit their control over their content. Follow the money. Always.

      It’s not just money, it’s the fact that leftists tear down other leftists more than they tear down right wing posts

      The right doesn’t have this problem

        Exactly this. And the saddest thing is that it’s not even rational criticism, just arbitrary “purity tests”. “You are not left enough, go fuck yourself.” “Wait, why are there so many people on the right?”
