Welcome to ##politics. ##politics is a social channel with a diverse set of regulars that have a shared interest in politics. We primarily discuss politics but the channel does frequently go off-topic. Please be warned, the channel and its operators tend to be left-leaning.
Please try to be civil. While some topics do get heated, discourse is best enabled by civility. As such you may be kicked or banned, possibly without warning, for the following things:
- Harassment
- Do not harass or threaten people in the channel. You might not agree with someone, but that is not a reason to harass them.
- This includes directing slurs such as 'retard' at people in the channel. Please avoid their use.
- Racism (or antigypsyism, antisemitism or islamophobia)
- Sexism, homophobia or transphobia
