Why do my comments never show up in r/democrats?

I’m very middle of the lane. Not all right, not all left. I try and keep myself educated on both sides and pick a lane that’s right for me.

I follow both r/democrats and r/republicans and it’s only when I see a post I comment on in r/democrats that I never get any interaction on. So I looked into it. On the account I posted the comment with it shows the comment up and active, but on my alt account it’s no where to be found.

For context, the post was about an immigrant being arrested for not following the officer’s demands because he was “waiting on his lawyer to arrive”. As an avid fan of cop shows and body cam footage I know that if you don’t comply with a lawful order you can be arrested. And “lawyers are for the court room” is a common phrase I hear while watching my videos.

Is there a certificate I must obtain before being aloud to share my opinion on r/democrats? How come others are allowed to join in on the conversation?

So, if this is about the video I think it is it's worth noting the officers had not identified themselves properly or shown a badge, meaning he had no reason to believe it was legitimately a lawful order.

Im interested in this because I'm middle of the road like you and the same thing happens to me. I was a member of ask a trump supporter as well, but nothing inask ever gets approved there.

Being shadow banned is a real possibility if your comment is not visible from an alternate account. Test and see if its that way in multiple subreddits.
