As such, discussing politics is de rigeur. If you'd rather not discuss politics, perhaps don't post in a thread titled "2024 Presidential Elections" in a subforum entitled "Politics".
Your clue is in the titles.
Thank you, but I was only mentioning that one did not bring up politics or religion in polite conversation at parties.
Although entertaining, I would not describe this forum as a party . . . would you?
One can, of course discuss the inanities of the parties involved in the current political season. Although a Liberal Constitutionalist, I am always delighted to observe what the various parties are doing, or not doing, to further their aims.
And as there is no party for Liberal Constitutionalists in America, I am able to takes sides for or against everyone quite freely.
You're in an explicitly political thread protesting that politics is not "polite conversation". I'm not interested in your personal preferences for party conversation, nor am I saying this is a party.
If you don't want to discuss politics in an internet forum, perhaps you shouldn't venture into their politics subforum. Alternately, if you do so venture, quit pleading for norm in party life to apply in a discussion-space designed precisely to discuss politics. This is not a cocktail party, and you don't get to tailor standards here.
