Until the rule is removed, any new posts about US politics will be removed.

    We just had probably the most consequential election of our life and you want to ban discussion? Jeezus.

      This is an ask community, not a politics community. Not everything revolves around America

        … And now you can’t ask anything about politics. There’s was doubtless going to be political questions to ask, and politic adjacent (where do I move) that will all be removed.

        And you can’t even ask about effects on the world either! Gaza, Ukraine, NATO, trade, tariffs, etc. Are those going to be removed? All valid questions, but sounds political to me.

        Like way to shut down shit tons of conversation.

          THIS ISN’T A DISCUSSION COMMUNITY! IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE OPEN ENDED QUESTIONS. MOST POLITICAL DISCUSSIONS AREN’T OPEN ENDED.

            Seriously? You’re this pedantic on the word discussion? Ok I will amend my first comment to:

            We just had probably the most consequential election of our life and you want to ban discussionquestions and the resulting discussion in the comments?

            Jeez all over again.

              Most questions are “How screwed are we?, How did we fuck up this bad? Why are the Republicans so dumb?”. Like, these aren’t the types of questions this community was meant for bruv. And don’t act like you don’t know that.

        How does that disqualify US political questions from being posted here, then?
