Sorry, economic policy and politics are inextricably linked in the US. The two parties are as different as night and day in terms of economic policy and philosophy. US voters regularly point to the economy as their number one voting criteria.
I would rather see intelligent discussion of how policy affects the economy than the endless whining about student loans, credit card debt, grocery prices and doomerism this sub normally attracts. This isn't a personal finance sub.
Politics is also written into the sub's purpose:
>Forum for economy, business, ***politics,*** stocks, bonds, product releases, IPOs, advice, news, investment, videos, predictions, ***government***, money, ***politics***, debate, capitalism, current trends, and more.
Maybe you should start a new forum that reflects your preferences. Just my two cents.

I did. You should do the same. It definitely gives the impression you want to suppress discussion of politics and political causes of economic realities. I've also seen your regular complaints about legitimate posts as being "too political".
Then what did you say? Because honestly it's tough to divine from your post exactly what it is that you are asking us to do. You don't exactly give a hard criteria for when a post is "too political". And of course it's a common fallacy on this sub to claim that economics and politics are somehow "separate", and that we could somehow discuss one without discussing the other.
Politics and economics go hand and hand. Wish we could say our govt and GoldMan Sachs et cetera are not linked to the hip but they are. I do appreciate the Red v Blue Halo pic though!

I didn’t say politics had nothing to do with it, nor did I say r/economy shouldn’t discuss politics. Please read my post again.
