MODERATORS
Political campaign funded bots/PR firms are the reason you see it saturate social media so badly. It's not entirely because we're obsessed with it, most people I know try to just live our lives and go vote when it's actually election day and that's about it.
That is to say, it is very annoying to most of us, too, and I support the motion to ban political images/shitposts on the pics community.
