Nothing against anyone or their opinions, but all the feed is showing is a stream of political posts. What are my options to overcome this as it is going to be a long year?

Hi,

I checked out your profile on the backend and unfortunately it looks like you have engaged a lot in topics related to politics and elections, which is why RallyPoint is showing you more content related to those topics. In general members see more content based on what they engage with. However, there is something you can do even now...

RallyPoint recently introduced the option to "unfollow" certain people. Currently you can only do this on desktop by going to their profile and clicking on the 3 dots below the Connect/Message button (see attached image). We will roll this option out in the near future on mobile. Unfollowing has no effect on your relationship with a member and they get no notification, but the content they create will be less prominent in your feeds. If it's tagged politics though you are still likely to see it. Later this year we will roll out a feature where you can choose to see less of a certain topic. For now, unfollowing certain members who post a lot of political content will help, as well as simply ignoring the content (you will see less of them that way).

CPT Mark Gonzalez At the bottom of each post on the right hand side are three gray dots click on it and select hide post. Then you will not see it again.

some politics do actually have a difference...air force vs the army/USMC where the A-10 is expenable and where tank on tank was the answer had Senator McCain and Congresswoman McSally, a former A-10 pilot and Squadron commander stepped in here..watch....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpDVf_PDeVQ

Good example of an issue where SMs, vets can join in with their opinions on a political issue other than elections and candidates.
