196 does not rule when the top voted posts are all about US politics (bloximages.chicago2.vip.townnews.com)

No one is sorting by top of all time when they casually browse the community. They're sorting by hot, or something else restricted to a semi-recent time period.

sort by top of the day

Can't believe placing building is such a political move smh my head

Look, i get what you mean, but i feels like the community didn't sunk as low as you thought.

True, but you're not sounding casual at all with your hissy fit post 😄

Yeah I am not sure I get where op is even coming from here.

Out of the top 20 of all time, only 5 are even about American politics at all, and arguably 2 of those 5 are not American specific.

Where I'm from, if you're a conservative, leftist women won't fuck you either.

Edit: Ok, I went deeper and kept scrolling (this is honestly a good community, with good memes lol, glad to be here) and, I'm just eyeballing it here, but less than 1 in 5 posts even applies to American politics, and less than half of those is exclusive to it. So honestly, wtf op?

partially my fault i recently made a bad post which poked fun at certain users. who come into us politics posts and blame americans for their own suffering for not having a better system calling them lazy etc. i was literally just like hey that’s not nice lots of americans especially young ones haven’t had a say in their government. comments immediately turned sour and i got called names for “ruining 196” 🙁(even though it’s like always been this way). i deleted the post because i agree it was a bit mean spirited on reflection.

but i made a better one that was more to the point and has been better received. 🙂
