Can we have a board purely for discussion of politics? I'm tired of being told to go back to /pol/ whenever the slightest quip from the US election comes up. Actual discussion is frowned upon there.
Also, with the US election really in full swing now, it's time to ease up the rules on Trump posting on other boards

You can do that on /news/ as long as you have a related news story. Not that /pol/ won't be there too if you do, but you will get some non-partisans and non-political people to weigh in occasionally in political threads on there like you wouldn't on /pol/.

I actually forgot /news/ had even been brought back
As for /pol/, all discussion threads are overrun by ebin maymays and very little discussion. Take a look at Trump General for the best examples.

I agree with you. I have abandoned /pol/ recently myself. If I see another Milo and/or Ben Shapiro thread it will be too soon.
Just do /pol/ and /memepol/

Make threads on /pol/ and make good posts in them. Do not reply to shitposters in your thread. Do not respond to shit threads on /pol/.
I swear, kids today have forgotten the golden rule of internet discussion.

You do realize /pol/ was borne out of this need for hugboxism
>wahh i cant have my free speech in /b/
>give me my own special free speech board where my opinion counts more
/b/ basically used to be the public dialogue of 4chan. If you wanted to talk about shit not on topic, you went there.
Now 4chan is filled with "safe spaces" like /pol/ where they get themselves worked up about boogeymen, and share their boogeymen stories and discuss boogeymen, sometimes pretending to be strawman boogeymen to make themselves feel better about how much better they are. Then, after they've worked themselves up about being so right, they become embolded and venture outside their safe space and shitpost elsewhere.
Now you want to make a new safe space to protect you from another safe space
The answer is delete /pol/ and put politics under /b/.

We've stopped calling it trolling. That's how much the rule was forgotten.

You seem to be obsessed with an Internet board too much.
>give us a better /pol/
>but let us shitpost about the election on every other board
r u 4 real
/pol/ is what you get when you have a politics-themed board on a site where you don't need to sign up and has lax moderation. if you want "actual" discussion of politics, you would need to go to a heavily-moderated site that had accounts.
