Hey all, I would like to kindly remind all users to please follow Rule 3 in the sidebar:

Policy, not politics! Policy discussions revolve around the concept; political discussions revolve around the individual, party, association, etc. We only allow POLICY discussions and political discussions should go to c/politics.

I don't want to remove this comment because the rest of it contributes to good on-topic conversation, but at the same time I must remind users that a remark such as point 1 in this comment, whether it is true or not, is considered political discussion. If you want to discuss politics, political figures, governmental entities, etcetera, then you can do so in appropriate communities such as c/politics.

For personal reference, a good way to tell if a remark is considered political is to ask: If someone replied to argue about this, would they be arguing about a law, regulation, or policy? Or would they be arguing about a person, governmental entity, or something similar?

A comment like is fine, and encouraged even:

I hate this new law that outlaws vehicle passengers wearing seatbelts because it is very dangerous.

However, a comment like this is not:

This is all Mr. Politician's fault; he wants to kill everyone and is ruining the world by outlawing seatbelts.

You guys have been pretty good about this so far. Thank you and keep being awesome.
