I'll start, with an opinion that's definitely uncontroversial /s

Identity politics is dead. People are ready for real change, not corporatism in a leftist skinsuit. It would be so easy to draw people back. Stop talking shit about cishet white men or whatever, talk about how you're going to help the working class, and then do that.

Stop doing dumb token shit like forcing the master -> main github renaming. The only thing that accomplished was white libs patting themselves on the back while doing jack shit to accomplish real change.

If you don't like that and think the DNC just lost because of racism/sexism/whatever, that's fine. Prepare yourself for more fascism as a result of that attitude, though.

I'm simply annoyed that all the news stories post-election have only slightly changed. We went from 'here's all the awful things Trump will do if he gets re-elected' to 'here's all the awful things Trump is planning to do now that he's re-elected'. It's not really new content, just the same stories over again.

There wasn't even a week off from it, the man and his coverage is an assault on all the senses and it's just never ending.

My dog took a shit on the rug last night and I stood in it this morning with bare feet and it was still more interesting than US politics

If you don't like discussing politics, you may be suffering from Allism Spectrum Disorder.

Allism, also known as Allism Spectrum Disorder, is a pervasive developmental disorder which impairs a persons social, communicative, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral function. The symptoms of allism range from moderate to severe and are lifelong; however, with intensive treatment and early interventions, the presentation of symptoms can be less severe. Currently, there is no cure for allism; however, therapeutic and dietary interventions in the research stage of development are showing promise.

Pervasive difficulty with discussing topics of substance; often reduces conversations to superficial, trivial details (e.g. deflects discussions of meteorological patterns or climate change to the current, observable state of the weather)

(Yes, this is a joke. A true one, though)

But we need a place to discuss and vent.

It's nice that you are trying to do the right thing, but you guys really got that Reddit vibe here, where moderators "allow" things instead of "serving" the communities.

But maybe others will like this post more. I like the initiative and trying to talk to users in a mature way.
