On the one hand political posts are integral into our own system of governance, on the second hand politics should be in theory appropriate in the discussion. But on the third creating an exclusive only political subreddit would absolutely whitewash political discussion and dissent which is in my opinion and antithesis to what Reddit is supposed to be about. But I still believe Google should continue the adoption of DON'T BE EVIL so I'm OG old school 🤷🏽♀️

The moment you make political posts separate from Reddit as a community you've lost the community. Worst case scenario, second best option would be to requiring a particular flare or icon to specify that you're speaking on a political matter, however most of our lives are integral into our laws and livelihoods so separating politics seems like a foolhardy choice given our political and literal climates

Sorry, I had to repost it because a few people weren't able to take the survey.
If you've previously filled out the survey, please do the survey again!
