I only really notice the politics on this site when it seeps, like raw sewage, into the thread of an innocent lolcow.
Nothing in this world is more disheartening than clicking on a thread that has inexplicably increased in size by several pages, and being confronted by a back and forth spat between two site members, sperging over some political detail that nobody in their right mind cares about, instead of the hoped-for lolcow meltdown or arrest.
It's like unwrapping a PlayStation 5-shaped present on Christmas morning, only to find that you have actually been gifted a large-print edition of Profiles in Courage, illustrated by Michael J Fox.
