Why?




More than 90% of the comments are partisan attacks on Trump. I'm happy for her win, but the topic doesn't stimulate a high quality discussion.

I'm not seeing that. I am seeing an overwhelming number of comments about Venezuela and the legitimacy of the Nobel Peace Prize over the years.

even if it did - the submission is purely about politics and should be discussed at r/worldnews for example.

>More than 90% of the comments are partisan attacks on Trump.

Why would you tell such an easily refutable lie?


1) There are now 121 matches for the string "Trump" on this page, which has nothing to do with him. The sentiment is overwhelmingly partisan.

2)Obviously the content of the page has changed in the hours since I posted. Even more Trump comments were added.


1) 121 mentions of trump in 600+ comments does not mean more than 90% of the comments are trump. You know this of course, you are just lying. Why else would you mention a count of trump mentions as if your original assertion wasn't a percentage?

2) 90%+ of the comments here were never about trump. Not when you posted and not when I posted. You are lying. Even with the "even more trump comments" it is still nowhere near 90%. The sentiment is not "overwhelmingly partisan." Again, you know this, you are just lying.

3) Asserting that trump has nothing to do with the topic at hand is completely absurd, egregiously dishonest and ridiculous. You know exactly why people are bringing him up. Even Machado mentioned him when accepting the prize. The assertion is even more dishonest than you saying more than 90% of the comments here mention trump (an objectively false and easily refutable lie)
