Though personal attacks/name-calling should still be disallowed, of course. Personally, I'd love a space to CIVILLY discuss political issues with my neighbors. If that's even possible these days?

Thank you, moderators, for what you do here! I'm sure it's a frustrating and thankless task much of the time.
Agree. I don't see any news worthy subject other than politics in the news these days. Honestly, we don't have any other current events being reported during this climate of unrest that we are all dealing with. The pandemic and BLM movement is all I'm seeing, hearing and reading about and they all have political roots. I have no idea how to eliminate the discussion about current events and not discuss the politics that is behind our current events.

I truly appreciate the moderators for taking on the impossible task of keeping politics out of a forum devoted to "Current Events". Good luck with that!
