Make the temporary ban on US Politics in AskLemmy into a permanent community rule.

[–] Buelldozer 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I do think it should be permanent but I also think there should be an exception for Civics type questions so people can still ask HOW the US Political system works. I'm thinking of things like the mechanics behind elections, SCOTUS appointments, the functioning of the two Chambers of Congress, etc.
