It's always filled with 'stupid liberals' or rants about how (insert group) is actually behind everything. There's a boogey man to a lot of people, whether it'd be Trump, Soros, or anyone else.
Pretty toxic, but that's politics. Usually smaller threads are the more interesting ones. I made one about the UK's law changes surrounding acid attacks and the conversation was solid. Once it grows or involves us politics (typically left vs right), it turns into a shitfest |
That's just politics in general here in the US. Ever since Bill Clinton the presidency has seemed more like a reality TV show rather than a significant position of office.
But as for the whole discussion thing, I tend to just try and make conversation, but it normally ends up in the shitfest category, for the exact reasons you stated. I also have to be VERY careful about the subject I enter, because depending on the story, I don't want to deal with the one sided banter from either side. I can understand why someone would remove Politics from the front page.
After All, if you're going to VGChartz, odds are it's not for politics.
