I've voted bad idea, not just because of the politics threads but there are loads of non-football threads I enjoy.
I don't mind the politics threads. Most of the time it's interesting, especially from the posters who write constructive posts. Even when I might not agree with them, it's interesting seeing their thoughts and viewpoints and it helps me understand things better. There's other threads on here that I don't bother with. Darts and Wordle keep popping up and I don't bother opening those as I'm not interested in Darts or Wordle. If I started a thread asking for Darts and Wordle threads to be banned, all the Darts and Wordle fans would tell me to **** off (and rightly so!) If you don't like politics, it's easy just to ignore the threads and not read them.
I just block the plonkers Nothing wrong with different topics, even if it is not about football. I really enjoy the 'funnies' for instance. Although I do notice that all some posters put up is political jokes about politicians they hate.
Avoid them like the plague nowadays. They're just exactly like anywhere else on the internet. A place for trolls to dry hump each other into friction burn and oblivion.
The older I get the more I start to think Plato and Aristotle had a point. People are too stupid for free speech and they're too easily led for democracy to work.
