why can't there be a "Trump" section? Sick of Trump threads in AIBU
(32 Posts)Just this really. Why are Trump threads being allowed in AIBU? Needs a board for people who are obsessed with this "topic" or should be in politics/news?
AIBU is not exactly over run with Trump threads though - there is only one within the first few pages of the topic, and it's very clear from the title what it's about so easy enough to avoid. Just don't click on it if you're that bored!
And most threads on AIBU could be posted elsewhere on the site - weddings, relationships, cars, style and beauty, education, etc. It's quite a miscellaneous topic.
There is one Trump thread.
And ditto to what pp said. I think all those "aibu to ask how often do you wash your towels /sheets/pj's" should go in housekeeping but I just ignore them.
Just hide them then.
Hi TeaCake5
Thanks so much for flagging.
We're always open to new ideas and so, as always, if there is a demand then we'll be sure to look into it.
Close your eyes to issues and hide them if it doesn't affect you.
If you want to discuss parking issues rather than the rise and influence of the far right in the West, that's your choice.
I know which one is more important.
Of course some people on the internet have an agenda to try and hide discussions so people don't engage and aren't informed.
Just saying
Here's a thing- it's not obligatory to open every thread y'know.
I'd sooner engage with people who want to talk about Trump than people who want to talk about pushchairs and toileting habits of 18mth olds any day personally. So I don't open the others, I use that there arrow button that lets me go past...
TBF - there wouldn't be so many Trump threads IF he hadn't been so controversial in his first month.
So many things to discuss.
ODFOD seeing everything as some huge conspiracy. Oooo have you signed a petition about trumps visit? Moaned about it on an echo chamber of mn? Brave and life changing for you no doubt.
Brave and life changing for you no doubt
If you aren't affected by the rise and influence of the far right, then you have nothing to fear.
Some of us are affected and worried. HTH. Feel free to engage in a Trump thread if you want. They are open to all people. Just be prepared to use actual facts and evidence. Not FOX news
But your last comment reveals the real nature of this site stuff post.
I don't give a shit what you post just use the relevant section ffs.
Does it bother you that people are discussing Trump and the rise of the far right on MN?
Why does it bother you so much?
Make AIBU great again! By keeping it to probably made up p&c parking bun fights. As God intended.
Ooooor you could just read the p&c threads and not the Trump ones. Just a bought!
Donald, is that you??
Whats the point of having sections if no one is guided by them? So people with diy questions should post them in the sen section then?
Agree that there is no need for a trump section
Getting a bit fed up with some people insisting that threads need to go in the right sections
Aibu and chat would cease to exist
And they are pretty much the only ones i look on
There could be a World's Leaders section with a subsection for 'special cunts'
There is no need for a Trump topic, they should just be in
Politics.
I've only ever seen one at s time anyway, just click Hide and your problem is solved.
soup - that is what I am saying - why aren't they moved to politics?
For the same reason that
Aibu re parking, mil, children, feminism etc
threads aren't moved i would imagine
Why is it Trump threads you're objecting to specifically? As I already mentioned, there are loads of popular house keeping questions, far more than Trump. Why not ask for them to be moved?
