There used to be a room called US Politics.

The owner is one of the mods.

@MartinSleziak I've unfrozen it, if anyone wants to use it :) I think it was originally for 2020 election discussion and then renamed after the inauguration.

@CDJB that's a dilemma. So would we post here about the US politics or there? :-)

@User1865345 I think last presidential election there was enough chat/conversation to warrant a separate room - we might get to that point again over the coming year if people want to chat about debates as they happen or something... From memory, one of the goals was to have somewhere election-specific to point people towards if comments on posts on the main site got too chatty.

Very well then. That provides better insight @CDJB.

For general purpose, this place is apt, imo. For election season, that could be used.

@CDJB You're right - the room in question originally had a different topic and it was renamed:

When I posted here I did not mean that as a request to unfreeze the room - only as a response to your message that there used to be such a room.

We'll see what happens - I won't be surprised if it gets frozen again. (No harm done either way, I guess.)

@MartinSleziak I would try to chime in takes on GOP debate and a purported Newsom-DeSantis debate there.

I'd love to say I'd join in, but they usually take place in the middle of the night over here!

Continuation of what the Daily Beast reported. And as usual no one likes him and he is definitely running for as an independent candidate.

I will just point out that if somebody wants to keep the other room open, something should be posted there before the room-pruning script runs again. (OTOH, it should not be that difficult to unfreeze it if/when it is actually needed.)
