Why don't you guys all go jerk each other off about how evil the GOP is on a politics sub? Some people get tired of seeing it on state subs.

OP literally crossposted the same exact thing on Votedem and it has 10% of the engagement.

Go populate the page for shit actually related to what you're doing ffs

It's related to the state and important info to keep people informed and voting. The literal.only reason to be upset about it is if you find it advantageous for as few people to vote as possible. Such as if you support a miniorty party who can't win on ideas.

If you are annoyed by political stuff just ignore the threads and look at the threads you care about it's really not that difficult

You're right, it's highly complex hitting Ctrl+C Ctrl+V like that. Takes real skill, effort, and genuine care.
