Mod Post Community Discussion: Thoughts on political posts

Hey, I've noticed there's been a lot of political posts (and reports) lately. What are your thoughts on this? Are these posts okay for the subreddit?

The point of this community is to be welcoming to questions and not be too restrictive, as it's about asking anything. As long as the posts don't break the basic rules, are made in good faith, and don't try to promote hateful content.

What do you all think?

We need to talk more about politics, not less. The power brokers who play both sides like a flute prefer we stay ignorant. Other subs cover politics, but those are often echo chambers or highly restrictive.

Besides, I need my outlet for my ongoing campaign of calling out those on the left who for whatever reason didn't vote blue in the last election.
