Yes, Joe Biden’s mind is a problem. So is his cold heart towards Palestinians

Politics without the jerks.
This community is watched over by a ruthless robot moderator to keep out bad actors. I don't know if it will work. Read !santabot@slrpnk.net for a full explanation. The short version is don't be a net negative to the community and you can post here.
Rules
Post political news, your own opinions, or discussion. Anything goes.
All posts must follow the slrpnk sitewide rules.
No personal attacks, no bigotry, no spam. Those will get a manual temporary ban.
Feels like this community needs a new name. I don't think I've ever seen "pleasant" politics posted here.
!PleasantPolitics aspires to be a place where people can have good faith discussions about politics without interference from trolls and assholes. 'Unpleasant' doesn't mean merely having different opinions from conservative Democrats. Creating an echo chamber was not the intended goal.
I agree. It's working well at what I intended it to be, in my opinion, but the name is flat-out wrong at this point.
I made a post with my evaluation of the bot's ability to create a space where people can disagree without being horrible about it. I think it's succeeding at that, and these contentious topics are a good test case, since it's not meant to create a space for only pleasant topics. The name is misleading. I don't know why I didn't expect this, but I didn't.
What do you think? I'm interesting in hearing feedback on how people are receiving the content they're seeing here. If the bot is working in my opinion, but the result from the reader isn't good, that's an issue.
