The US Policy board was created
specifically to permit this board to not asymptote to a 99% US Policy subject. There is nothing wrong with the subject of course, but please post posts relating to
or even if briefly citing US politics, exclusively to the US Policy board.
There are quite a few authors/readers who were starting to enjoy this board, but the content and focus quickly becomes overwhelmed if US politics are even cited.
I have explained this a few times on this board:

If there are such US politics posts here, they should he left in peace. This takes a bit of mental discipline but it is possible. The reason for dividing the US politics to a separate board is not related to the quality of the post but rather because contemporary US politics proved to be luring to receive amplified political replies (if a post was a only 10% political, the reply is 80% political for example) which behinds a positive feedback loop in which non-political posts simply *vanish*, and some readers leave. As the readership interest in the recent imaginative posts on this board show, I believe there is a real appetite (that may also build up) for non-political, philosophically leaning posts on this board.International politics is okay here, or local politics outside of the US. The only reason is that there is no history of such politics creating waves of post that leave other subjects strangled.
