Politics posts on a sub board?

Just my opinion, but I think you are wrong, or trying to rehash political atmosphere from threads of months and months ago. It really hasn't been like that in a while.

The threads lately have been good political discourse.  I learn a lot from the political threads, and because of the peas political threads, it has made me research better, more often, become more politically motivated.  I am a better American for the political threads here, I used to be a "oh it doesn't affect my little bubble" or "head in the sand" type of girl. Not anymore with the crazytown administration that we are currently experiencing.

And I will say this---NOT ONE PERSON ON THIS BOARD HAS EVER BEEN PREVENTED FROM EXPRESSING THEIR OWN OPINION.    That "phrase" catchall excuse has become tired and old, and simply not true.  There is NO ONE stopping you or anyone else from posting here.  You do have a voice--if you have something to say, then say it. 

With that said, NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON HERE has been prevented from posting what they want, how they feel, true or not, facts or back up provided or not. You own your own keyboard/phone, no one is stopping you.  One cannot expect every person to agree with an opinion or any alternative facts, pure gaslighting, etc.  and will refute that kind of stuff with facts and cite examples. 

I wish people would stop using that excuse when they themselves wade into a political thread and then cannot stand up and support their own words.  Why do it then?  (just walk on by...)

Yes, you will likely see more political activity here on the boards as part of the normal, everyday life of a pea.  Politics has always been a heated topic, no matter where you are posting, talking---it's at home, the office, the coffeeshop, Facebook, online.    I think the only place I NEVER experience politics is on Instagram, and when I run or hike!

And this is purely my opinion, you need not agree or disagree or even comment, but in my experience here, those who state that "no one allows others their own opinions/or are in agreement with others" are those who cannot base their opinions on facts--real true facts, not the alternative, propaganda, gaslighting kind, or those who are upset that others will not agree with their point of view with their echo chambers of their own.
