Hey, SFP! Have you tried searching on Google before submitting a question?
Post Body

There are many questions that get asked here that could easily be answered by taking your submission title and typing it into Google. This does 2 things for everyone:

1) You get your question answered quickly without having to wait for someone to look it up for you.

2) It reduces the amount of this type of content in the sub,

Some of these questions may include:

How many years has Bernie been a senator?

Does anybody have a link to the 'America' ad?

How much money was raised by Bernie so far?

Of course not all questions can be searched in Google. For instance, "I'm having a hard time understanding the benefits of a $15 minimum wage. Can somebody please explain why this helps the economy?"

We all want everyone to be as informed as possible. But at the same time we don't want this community filled with posts that can be easily answered by the submitter.

Thanks!
