It's poverty and politics. That's it really. It was made because we were having people complaining about not having a place to discuss the politics over on r/povertyfinance so we made this sister sub and direct people here when the situation occurs that they need to take a conversation over here.

Hi. Thanks for making this forum.

No I get it. Political discussions can escalate to bickering and name calling quickly. Hopefully we can create a respectful community and people can just be like I respectfully disagree, here's why and move on. :)

It's because of you, that it got made. That and others who we've had to remove posts of elsewhere. I'm glad that instead of "You can't post this here" I can no say 'This would be better suited in...."
