danny. Posted 7 November 2022 Posted 7 November 2022 Was there a reason cited for its closure? I valued that thread - as someone else said it was good to see other people’s views as my own social circle is a bit of an echo chamber.

bovril Posted 9 November 2022 Posted 9 November 2022 Journalists in this country care more about politics in Wisconsin than in the devolved nations and probably anywhere in England outside of London and the 'red wall'

Suspect it's the internet and social media dominance of US that exposes people to it more than domestic politics.

RoboFox Posted 9 November 2022 Posted 9 November 2022 Take few days off the site only to find my beloved Politics thread has been nuked.

No more nipping into the Politics thread just to say "The Tories are a bunch of cvnts" and then walking off with your standard half a dozen likes My ratio of posts to rep points is has been sensational recently, I reckon probably 90% of them came from being a raving lefty, and daft puns in the transfer threads. Where am I gonna get them now? They sure as fvck aren't going to be awarded to me because of my football knowledge. 1 2

WigstonWanderer Posted 10 November 2022 Posted 10 November 2022 I’d have loved to have heard opinions on the US election results from the good folks here. Not often you get a varied mix of opinions from different sections of the political divide, and a random mix of football supporters gave exposure to a range of viewpoints that most wouldn’t ordinarily encounter in our various echo chambers. A shame.

A shame. Well...in the interest of posting news rather than opinion for anyone who is interested: It looks like the projections are pretty middling for both Dems and Repubs - the latter are likely to win the House, but the former may well hold onto the Senate by the narrowest of margins. Also, the final Senate seat to be decided (Georgia) is going to come down to a run-off in December.
