- US people have the unique trait of not shutting the fuck up about their politics online
- getting rid of US politics will also get rid of most non-US politics due to all political conversation eventually ending up US politics conversations due to the above point
- it would also be a nice indicator to those who are willing to read the room
- singling out US politics instead of a blanket “no politics” rule cleverly avoids the problem of “but what is/everything is political” debates that are just waiting to take over from the politics debates themselves
- election year or something idk I’m not from there
obviously this does not apply to communities whose explicit purpose is to talk politics
the internet is losing places for creatures to be silly little meow meows :3 in peace, and we need to do something, literally anything, about it

Yeah, don’t assume those are all people. “Bob from Ohio” is often Dmitri from St. Petersburg.
doesn’t change my overall point /shrug
Well you convinced me, I changed my upvote on your post to a downvote.
I agree so hard with this I want to kiss your face and suck air through your nose to make your sinuses gurgle.
Can you share some communities that you think this rule is needed?
all of them that aren’t dedicated to political discussion
Which communities are you seeing US politics discussed where it isn’t appropriate?
Also, as someone from the US, foreign politics are interesting to me and a nice change of pace from what I normally get
I’m on board with this. As an American, I am so sick of US politics. It’s so stressful and difficult to avoid.
Mods, please remove this political post. ;)
