i think someone is going to start a ~politics territory and get a ton of activity in the lead up to the 2024 election

Wouldn't politics just fit nicely under the news territory.

i guess it could, but news is so broad that it could encompass a lot of things that people interested in politics might not want to see

I think that is going to attract a lot of riffraff to the site.

definitely possible, it’s one of those topics that basically anyone can have an opinion on (regardless of whether they know anything about it).

By far, the most tedious threads I've been on have been with political partisans.

Not just US. There are 70+ elections around the world this year. I fear such a territory would become a bit of punch up.

There's a post where for the most part it was respectful and good debate, discussing guns and abortions. That was intense but like I said for the most part people were decent in that discussion.

just to add some more noise... and as if there are elections on the US only! @SN should start to think a bit more openly if it wants to scale
