Thanks! Yeah, I thought maybe this was what Larks was referring to. Putting to one side the question of whether that was a valuable discussion or not, I wouldn’t put that in the same category as OP’s post. The Manifest discussion was about whether an organisation such as Manifest should give a platform to people with views some people consider racist, OP’s post is an analysis of the policy platform of a leading candidate in what is arguably the world’s most important election. I wouldn’t describe the former discussion as ‘political’ in the same way that I would describe the OP’s post. But perhaps others see it differently?
