Re: Does the forum need so much politics?

One user has opened two voluntary signature campaigns, one for Trump and one for Kamala. I would say that this is the lowest point of this forum.
If it is a joke, it is very bad and someone without a sense of humour should not engage in it.

I don't know if that's the lowest point this forum's had (I'd say Yobit's campaign with unlimited slots for shitposters would take that spot), and I'm not even sure those campaigns are in bad taste--mindrust seems to be using it as a kind of polling mechanism, but who knows what his true intentions are.

If all of this political discussion could be related to bitcoin I'd have no problem with it, but any time a thread starts out trying to do just that it inevitably devolves into typical flame wars.  That's basically what happens with every single thread on every discussion board on the internet dealing with politics.  And, I would add, this election is probably going to be more important than 2016 when Trump first got elected.  I'm afraid whoever gets elected it's going to throw the country into an even more divisive state.  Trump is a conservative's wet dream, and on the very opposite side of the spectrum is Harris, who dampens the bed sheets of liberals who'd like nothing more than to have a black woman as president.

So while I don't care for or participate much in all of this crap, it's kind of hard to stop everyone from talking about it.  But I've said it before, this will (hopefully) die down after the election.
