The thing that bothers me the most about political shenanigans online is that it's pretty much exclusively US-centric.
It'd maybe bother me a bit less if it wasn't just the one pov and lens of looking at things through ( strangely enough even from a lot of non-Americans ).
Like when it comes to gaming websites the last straw for me was when DoA6 was coming out and freaking reviews became about the last president and it became some '' left vs right '' culture war whether you liked the game or not...

Imo it should just be shutdown immediately and be isolated to where it belongs in sub-sections or something.
Gaming is a global market...
Just create a trashfire politics section and then let it burn itself to the ground, don't even moderate it just let people go nuts but keep them away from everywhere else.
