Given concerns around Reddit threads locking over time (preventing conversation), I am in favor of replacing our current comment system. That said, I believe we should consider alternatives to disqus due to potential concerns over user privacy, ui/ux, data archival, closed-source, etc. |

I think we could use a custom comment system with a database that is hosted off-site. That database would be downloadable by everyone at any time with an open moderator log. Maybe it would also be a good idea to implement Github and Reddit authentication. |

Description of your pull request, and other information
This PR removes Reddit comments and replaces them by Disqus comments. Reddit comments are a pain in the ass and they archive every 6 months. I personally believe this will make it easier for us to maintain the comments.
I'll probably keep running the Reddit Bot every 6 months to create new threads on /r/trumptracker but the Reddit comments won't be visible on the website.
