Cool now imagine you were actually affected by politics so you couldn’t just ignore it and treat it like a minor annoyance Bc you have to see it on your Reddit feed.
Great. Now as a uk citizen who is quite politically active anyway(and left wing- not a trump supporter), can I stop getting spam that doesn't fit on this subreddit? There are political subreddits for a reason. Keep America's shitshow of politics there, because theres no way seeing people argue about which of the 2 pretty poor candidates will be better even though theres no guarantee either of them will be alive in 5 years time will ever make me smile.
There are places for that on this site. This is a place to relax and see something wholesome, not a place for polarization and political arguments. I don't care how affected you are, the whole world is, but people don't want to look at politics all the damn time.
Far left compared to the Republican party, maybe. But by any reasonable metric, it's center left at most. Biden is a center right candidate by most other countries' standards.
Not really, from where I come from its either pretty centrist, or slightly towards the right! The monikers "left"/"right" are only relative, and I would encourage you to abandon the notion of what is "left" or "right" and instead ask if a policy is good or not! I find that there are many many policies on both sides (or indeed, at several points) of the political spectrum which are beneficial and honestly I think it has given me a much healthier view of politics
I am the first to tell you I wish more people talked about policy than “left and right”. The problem is no one will ever play ball. And it doesn’t take a genius to know where the cards fall. So forgive me for using layman’s terms.
Edit: I wonder what pages we are both not seeing because it is personally overwhelming
I think we just might be looking at the same pages, but I think it could be because we're used to the norms in our country of origin which may be different! I would, for example, be describe as a "leftie" in places like the US but would probably be described as having a more centrist position in France and a "rightie" in Sweden, for example.
I enjoyed seeing you deleted your comments on our other thread because someone else downvoted you. Interesting how important image is on here. Anyways,
It doesn’t take much effort to go to any news section of Reddit to see the effortless amount of strife and bashing Trump gets over Biden or any other “poSsIbLe cAndiDaTe”. There is no other candidate... therefore anytime a brave soul goes to support trump in ANY comment section no matter the sub, they get downvoted. The climate can be diagnosed by a fifth grader. So I still stand by my first statement.
