I agree, but it comes at the cost of being thoughtful to keep a post policy-based and not partisan based.
For illustrative purposes, the objectionable part of the deleted post was: "77 million voted for this guy. Reap what you sow." That's partisan, outside the scope of policy. This thread and the Ukraine thread have been EXCEPTIONS to the non-politics rule, not an EE-wide standard.
You're welcome to implore Andrus to change the approach but, until he does, we moderate in accordance with his set rules.
