> if you talk about certain data which is considered "bad", like crime statistics, your post will be shadowbanned

Utter nonsense. Seriously. This is pure claptrap. I've seen so many instances where posters here have brought up "crime statistics" in the context of race or claimed that left-leaning cities are unlivable crime-ridden hellholes, and none where such posts were "shadowbanned".

Now I'm wondering, does SF count as a "left-leaning city"? Sure, it's a single datapoint but still.

Arguably, but I think it's the claim that SF is an "unlivable crime-ridden hellhole" that they would take issue with.

In the context of those conversations, there's a lot of implied "therefore you should vote republican", if it's not out right stated.
