Mods: “Don’t cry about politics on here!” Also mods: Proceeds to cry about politics.

Well, that reason behind locking the post certainly seems to have an agenda behind it. That's...interesting

Yes I had to lock this because you had an agenda. I will show you my agenda because your agenda was wrong. If anything this is proving we are as bad as the boomers. Unless a boomer is the moderator.

Well, Rule 7 on this sub is "No Politics" so mods would have been well within bounds to lock it once the comments veered to the specifically-political rather than just a generic admonition of "let's not wind up like the Boomers, endlessly circlejerking and tooting our own horn 'til everyone's fuckin' sick of us" (which frankly, many posts on this sub DO lean toward, often); but injecting their **own** politics into the post-locking note (roughly-translated as, "you dumb libs still don't understand, people just HAD to vote for fascism because Woke Or Something I Guess") sure leaves a bad taste, don't it?

Facts are facts. Elections are won by swaying the moderates. If the Libs want to win elections they need to figure out how to woo the moderates.

So… fascism appeals to moderates now? That’s a weird definition of “moderate”.

No Politics - Political posts of any sort are not generally permitted outside of moderator created threads. If you wish to have political discussions, you can use our other sub r/GenXPolitics.

I think it's fair and desirable to designate certain spaces as politics-free zones, because people of all stripes need spaces to just screw around and shoot the shit and let off steam and come together where we can; it's a valuable way to remember our common humanity, and frankly for my mental health I need spaces like it; I can't be furious ALL the time. There are bars with posted rules they'll toss you if you start talking about politics or religion, because it frequently leads to bar fights and that's not what they're there for. If the rule is clearly posted here, and there's a second sub (linked in that rule) specifically FOR discussing politics, *that* part doesn't strike me as unreasonable at all. But that note...that note sucks.

Came here to find a post about this and glad I wasn’t disappointed. Who the fuck allows these boomers to be mods on a GenX sub? Disregard the politics aspect, this is the most anti GenX comment and this yahoo is moderating our conversations? Now I see why the sub leans so heavily towards aging incels. WTF.

The rule is no politics. If one wants to cry or gloat there is the entirety of the rest of Reddit. Gen X, in my experience had never been about being a bunch of crying pussies. We abide, we exist, we plod on. One side deals with the other every 4-8 years in general. They dealt with it, now you deal with it. The universe won't even notice.
