No duck on this pond, just interested in people views and reasoning
I don't want to unduly influence any members responses here, frankly, I'm interested to know the answer myself.
Skip this part if you want to avoid that.
I want to make sure that it is clear... "Political" threads pertaining to the upcoming 2024 elections means "what" exactly?
All I see in the way of examples is garbage like: "Biden is a jerk!" "Trump is a bully!" "Only stupid people will vote for Biden, or Trump!" "My state won't support that fool!" Or "Look at these losers saying that Trump/Biden will win!" What is there to discuss there? Are such threads for discussion or just a show of partisanship? Let's face it, any such threads will be festooned with "media" articles and Press release material... you know the kind... you and I have been reading them for years... 90% propaganda and campaign fodder... can that really work to enlighten anyone?
How about we say... sure you can make that thread here... but you cannot link any source material... we are only interested in your assertions... not some biased reporter or editor, not some utterances from campaign managers and political appointees. Would that work?
