Purpose

Here at bad politics, we point out the the misinformed, the liars, and the downright bizarre in politics and laugh at it as well as basic misunderstandings in regards to the field of Political Science. So, in short, this is an rss feed of modern politics.

Moderation Policy

If you break the rules, the post or comment or post in question will be removed until it is amended to comply with the rules. (Note: Link Posts cannot be edited and must therefore be resubmitted.) Repeated or egregious violations of the rules will result in a ban.

Rules

R1
There is bad politics in favor of and against every political position and ideology and in favor of and against every political proposal. As such, while individuals who participate may have an ideology or political stance, this sub does not. To reflect this, we take the position that no political stance is, in itself, bad politics. As such, any post that is simply expressing a position or ideology will be removed. To qualify for being posted here, it needs to contain factual inaccuracy. This means misrepresenting the other side, twisting facts, using falsehoods, making bad comparisons, making unsubstantiated claims of fact, and believing debates to be settled when they aren't.
R1a
- All ideologies are welcome, and mocking people, be they the people we point out in this sub or contributors to this sub, in the comments for their ideology or political beliefs is not welcome and will be removed.

R2
To discourage violations of rule 1, all posts need to come with an explanation as to why what was posted was bad politics. This explanation should ideally contain at least three sentences that demonstrate where the factual inaccuracy lies, and should not include blatant statements of opinion or denigration of any political position or ideology.

R3
DO NOT VOTE IN LINKED THREADS. That is a one way ticket to you getting shadowbanned and this sub getting banned. In order to encourage others to follow this rule, please make all links to Reddit threads non-participation links. (This is achieved by replacing the "www" in them with "np".)
R3a
- In addition, submitting threads you are involved in yourself is not allowed, and will result in the removal of said thread. We are not your personal army.

R4
Don't be an ass while commenting. Insulting other commenters isn't acceptable. Nor is racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. It is just as unacceptable to send someone a PM that breaks this rule in response to something they said in this sub as it is to reply with a comment breaking that rule.

Not everything related to politics that is wrong is bad politics. Factual inaccuracies about historical events belong in /r/BadHistory, factual inaccuracies about science it belongs in /r/BadScience, if it contains things specific to gender, race, etc /r/BadSocialScience may be a better fit. It is fine to post things that contain bad history, bad science, or other bad things as long as it also contains incorrect statements about politics (see rule 1).
