I'm fed up with this bullshit. This forum is for news that has no ties to anything political.

That means if you want to discuss policy, how laws work, bitch about laws, bitch about whatever fucking bullshit that has to do with politicians, talk about who is elected, anything related to POLITICS will be aggressively moved to the POLITICS section of the board called CLOAK ROOM. I don't fucking care if you think there is a "cabal" or if you will "get negged" - get the fuck over it. Stop politicizing everything and just post the news, make fun of shit that happens, get into serious conversations about what it potentially means to you or those around you.  DO NOT TALK ABOUT YOUR FUCKING POLITICAL FEELINGS OR WHAT THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD DO TO FIX IT.

Anything that has more than 5 posts on a page that are political is just going to get moved to the CR.

This reminds me of my nephew who knew how much even saying Trump's name bothered his mom so he would just walk around her saying "Trump...Trump, Trump, Trump". I love that kid.

preach.

and the thing that gets me is the same people who are so aggressively loud about "no politics in Dt" are the same as those trying to cleverly post political baiting posts and hot takes in the dt

Also, it’s funny that the FitLump thread, which is a plainly political topic, manages to stay free of politics. Somehow everyone can play nice there, but a worldwide disease is just too much to discuss without losing our minds.

These are the only correct responses to the OP.

Amen... Can we move my thread back to DT Please? I feel icky having it over in the CR. 

PLEASEEEEEEEEE... Everyone will behave. We promise. 

Cool. So 3-4 posters that never leave the CR effectively rule the entire political discussion on the site.  Each has enough rep to fatwa anyone outside of the top 10 rep holders.  

This is just more censorship from Big Tech.  The 1st Amendment was very clear about social media and message boards.

If you’re getting negged that much, you probably weren’t legitimately interested in discussion.

Just wait until sports and football turns all political

Who tf elected this guy as the boss of Daily Texan???

We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as sort-of-executive officer for the week.  But all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special biweekly meeting by a simple majority, in the case of purely internal affairs but by a two thirds majority, in the case of more major--
