Announcement: Revised "On Topic" Rule

Posted: 04 Mar 2019 07:35 AM PST

Greetings r/Politics users! We would like to share with everyone our newly-revised "On Topic" guidelines. Topicality is one of the trickiest rules we have; trying to define the scope of this subreddit in our current climate where almost everything hearkens back to politics or can be considered "political" is a challenge.

We have done our best to create the clearest guidelines we can, and to offer examples of things in our wiki that do not fall within the scope of our subreddit. While it is impossible for us to cover every possible circumstance, we've included common situations that we often get questions about. While not entirely comprehensive, we may add more in the future if the need arises as we always make an effort to review, adapt, and communicate our rules to this subreddit's awesome subscribers!

As always, if you have questions or suggestions about any of our rules, feel free to send us a modmail with your inquiries. In the meantime, click here to read our revised "On Topic" guidelines in our wiki, or click here for common instances of submissions considered off-topic.

The "What happened in your state last week?" Megathread, Week 9

Posted: 04 Mar 2019 09:00 AM PST

Welcome to the 'What happened in your state last week' thread, where you can post any local political news stories that you find important in the comments. This is a weekly thread posted every Monday, in order to facilitate more discussion on local issues on /r/politics. Since this is intended to be a thread about local politics, top-level comments that are exclusively about national issues will not be allowed. When commenting, please include the state you're living in, and don't forget to link sources. Also, please actually describe what happened. "I live in X, you know what happened" isn't helpful to users and will be removed.

If someone from your state made a news round-up that you think is insufficient, feel free to comment to that round-up with further news stories. Enjoy discussion, and review our civility guidelines before engaging with others.
