I became sick of seeing posts that are genuine unpopular opinions being removed from r/UnpopularOpinion simply because they are political opinions. Furthermore, some of the political opinions are left up and others are removed, with seemingly no real standard.
I decided to create r/UnpopularPolitOpinion (this is the best formatting that would fit).
I'm looking for mods across the political spectrum and I'm also looking for posts. PM me if you are interested.
Not sure if the idea will hold up in practice but the spirit of the idea is to have a place where people of all political beliefs can civilly discuss controversial or unpopular opinions regarding politics.
I know that's a seemingly unachievable today but we are going to try. I genuinely believe everyone's opinion is important, especially controversial ones. I believe difficult topics are important to discuss and our emotions and beliefs need to be challenged on the regular.
Hoping I can get this off the ground.
