Because it is literally an omni-thread for an entire Presidency, but not made in the style of breaking news. For all the sometimes-interesting discussion in there, that topic is the antithesis of the P&E rules, specifically this one:
- Keep threads specific and debatable. No wide omnibus threads. We want to see clear, specific topics and thread titles. Large omnibus threads are actively detrimental to the long-term success of the boards. A thread entitled, “Tax Policy” is too broad. One entitled, “Should a National Sales Tax be enacted” is better. Keep it clear and specific. This also requires participants in the thread to remain on specific topics as well.
A topic entitled, “The Biden Administration - the first 1,500 days” is too broad. A topic titled “What should the Democrats do about this debt ceiling crisis?” is better. Participants in the topic can’t remain on a specific topic if the topic isn’t specific to begin with.
ThelmaLou’s original topic asked what the Biden Administration might do/accomplish. It was opened in November of 2020 whereas Mr. Biden wouldn’t be sworn in until late January 2021. If the intent was to speculate at a high level before Biden actually took office, the topic should simply have been locked once people continued discussion after the swearing-in.
