Call for Steve Huffman's (u/spez) resignation from Reddit

The Issue

Over the users, Reddit CEO Steve Huffman, better known as u/Spez is a politically biased person who has brought about the destruction of Reddit as a whole. He is known for forcefully editing posts from r/The_Donald to align with his views.

He has made Reddit into a cesspool and has limited the voices of conservatives and sites that do not fall into his viewpoint. This has lead to corrupt admins and mods, silencing voices, and destroying popular subs to please the mainstream media. Mainly r/WatchPeopleDie, a subreddit which contained videos of workplace accidents, car crashes, etc, meant to show the fragility of life. There have also been cases of popular subs being quarantined for having offensive memes against the left (i.e: r/Smuggies) and even cases where the moderators of a subreddit were suspended in order to ban the sub for being "unmoderated".

This and more is reason enough to sign for the removal of Shane Huffman as CEO of Reddit for:

#1: Using corrupt methods of running the site

#2: Discriminating others based on their personal political views

And

#3: Stealing free speech from those he does not agree with

There's a chance this will not get many signatures, I understand that. You may not agree with conservatives, I understand that too, but we agree that even if you have different views, you have a right to speak your mind without prejudice. Shane Huffman seems to refuse in any form of accepting that. The goal here is to make the internet a place where minds can be spoken, where there is freedom of speech. Even if it does not bring the desired effect, Huffman getting fired is an achievement for the internet and for Reddit on its strive to restore it to it's formal glory.
