There’s nothing inherently wrong if the post is about politics. Even if the data is very clearly trying to make a point about one political group. I’m fine with that, as long as the data is “beautiful.”

There’s nothing interesting about bar graphs and pie charts. That’s all they are

edit: like this

It’s the top post of the day and it’s just a wall of text to complain about billionaires. There’s nothing interesting about it

Can we make r/DataIsBeautiful good again?

I see way too many posts on this sub that boil down to lazy attempts at trying to make a political claim. The data isn’t that neat, or fun to look at. All it is, is a bar graph form of “hey guys look how little Fox News talks about school shootings.” or “hey guys look how awful Christians are.”

The point of the sub is to show the data, and the well done presentation of the data. If the focus of your post is politics, and specifically how one political group is wrong/hypocritical, and makes little to no attempt at presenting data in an interesting way, it should be deleted.

This is a great example
