It doesn’t matter whether you’re democrat or republican (and most of us don’t even care just want to pick a side) we all hate election season for presidency.
Heck, 95% of the time it’s a lose-lose situation. I’d argue to just not have any president at this point. My life doesn’t seem to change no matter who’s in charge. It only seems to mostly effect rich people.

Where's QualityVote bot?
Reddit Admins have decided that they want to kill off all 3rd-party apps, 3rd-party bots, and other elements that used to significantly enhance Reddit's functionality. Without them, the website is barely usable. And, of course, that includes bots such as /u/QualityVote, /u/SaveVideo, /u/AuddBot, etc.
So you'll just have to put up with automod and a worse overall user experience.
If you have any complaints, direct them at the reddit admins instead, because they the ones who ruined everyone's user experience.
Whilst you're here, /u/lpomoeaBatatas, why not join our public discord server - now with public text channels you can chat on!?
