Why is this site so unbearably political now? Some of these takes are almost as bad as the stuff you find on the front page of Reddit...

It's a hot topic now because of the presidential election?

Because, politically speaking, things are very far from normal right now.

You ever go through the Reddit blackout of 2015 or the API scandal of 2022? It's a common phenomenon. You move to sites and the people who are the most engaged will be talking about the reason they moved and their dissatisfaction.

It'll calm down in a month. Maybe. The current atmosphere isn't going away in a month like the API protests.
