WayOfTheBern

r/WayOfTheBern is one of the many political subs on Reddit that are centered or based on Bernie Sanders. However, WoTB is notably different in that a large percentage of the readers of the subreddit advocate for #DemExit. WayOfTheBern is frequently accused on Reddit discussions and outside of Reddit on potentially being a false-flag or politically right-leaning that is supposed to be dedicated to progressive ideas and principles.https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/sgnvvd/whats_going_on_with_rwayofthebern/ - OutOfTheLoop discussion on WayOfTheBern]- Top Minds discussion on WayoftheBern- Disinformation Watch on r/WayoftheBern
