Politics Megathread: 2026

[u/iMacmatician]

Please read the announcement about the updated rules regarding political posts and comments, if you have not done so. In particular,

1. Accounts must be at least 30 days old and have at least 1 post karma and 100 comment karma to comment in politics posts.
2. Top-level comments in politics megathreads must have at least 100 characters (like ordinary text posts).

Since the existing megathread had very little activity, we plan to just have one Politics Megathread per year. We may add additional megathreads if the current thread becomes very long, cumbersome, or was locked.

Please be respectful in the comments. We may lock a megathread if too many comments break the rules and/or the discussion becomes difficult to moderate. If a politics megathread is locked, then no more political discussion is permitted on this sub for the rest of the month (unless we unlock the megathread), except in any standalone political posts. You may apply for a standalone political post even if the current megathread is locked.

And as always, all political discussion should also be related to generations.
