Am I asking too much? I get that most other social media platforms don't offer such a feature, but the political threads are taking over like a plague and many times make up at least 2 of the 5 "Trending Discussions."

Or will this continue to be left to the individual members? Maybe there needs to be some sort of subdomain for politics.

I pay little attention to these political posts.

It is an election year, after all, and certainly the most heated of my lifetime.

I want to be able to hide post. So they don keep coming up. And I might be tempted to comment.

RP should not have the right to allow you to ignore any posts. If you can't decide which post to read or disregard, you shouldn't be on here. You should be mature enough to make your own decision. Manipulation!

There are a number of posts and individuals I may or may not decide to read or ignore. No one says you have to agree with a post to learn from it.

I prefer to think for myself and not allow other to dictate what I can and can not do or say!

The exact message I shared with 1SG (Join to see) :
"That has nothing to do with me clicking a link to read the thread. However, it has everything to do with such topics cluttering my timeline and homepage where I could be gaining exposure to new topics I've yet to explore on RP."

Should I add that to the details section of the post ?

Sgt Jacqueem Spratley, I man enough to make my statement and take your down vote. But son, you need to grow a pair of balls and MANUS! Accept responsibility and stop depending on others to think for you! Oh ya, your 30 point deduction doesn't mean squat to me, but shows others on RP the time of individual you are. Have a great evening and God bless. I will keep you in my prayers and pray you learn to think for yourself.

Sgt Joe LaBranche - The downvote means I disagree. It doesn't mean I hope you burn in hell. Furthermore, such an option would help win over many professionals who would like to see RP as more professional. You're not seeing the bigger picture.
