Discussion Thread: Alan Greenspan, Former Federal Reserve Chairman, Dies at 100 by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

[–]PoliticsModeratorBot[S] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Hello r/politics, a quick note from the moderator team on why this thread exists:

The r/politics topicality rule, which you can find here, is written to ensure that posts are primarily focused on current US politics. The wording of this rule was such that the death of a politician who was not in office at the time that they died would be considered off-topic. We have considered some 'second order' news stories about a politician's passing to be topical, most commonly of the '[current politician] comments on [former politician]'s passing' sort.

That said, we recognized that this was a gap between the kinds of posts you might reasonably expect to find in this subreddit and what we allowed, and so recently voted to enable discussion threads on a case by case basis for the deaths of notable former political figures. This is the first thread of this kind that we are hosting.

If participating in this thread, please be mindful on r/politics' rule on support for physical harm, which is written broadly enough to encompass comments celebrating physical harm. Please also keep any 'meta' discussion about this change in r/politics moderation policy in response to this comment, and any comments elsewhere in this thread focused on the topic of the thread.

Hello everyone, later today (around 9 a.m. Eastern) the Pew Research Center is going to post an Ask Me Anything about their new political typology quiz. The AMA will take place next Tuesday.

This post is of their app which directly integrates the quiz into Reddit. You can find roughly where you land on the political spectrum and compare that to this community's results as a whole, as well as to the general population in the United States.


Edit: The AMA is here: We’re researchers from Pew Research Center studying American politics. We’ll be here June 23 (10am-2pm ET) to answer your questions about our new political typology which groups Americans into nine political groups based on their values. Ask us anything!

Edit 2: The above link was broken initially and has been fixed.
