there are plenty of people on here that will take a discussion political given half a chance. That's why we don't allow talking about guns outside of PnR. Same thing for climate change, people take it political right away. These are just two examples on this forum of things we only allow to be discussed in the P&R forum. We have worked to make that forum less of a cesspool, with some success, but if you want to see why we don't allow politics outside of there I'm sure you will understand if you read some of the threads in that forum.
If you can't live by the rules it's best not to participate. Newbies trying to dictate the rules is probably not going to work out for them. The all-volunteer mod staff works pretty hard to keep this place welcoming to a large number of people. Some people just don't fit in. Sorry for the inconvenience.
