There are other forums, such as General Discussion, Humor, where the comments about current politics is more appropriate than the lounge. The DU lounge is the one forum where politics is not to be discussed.

and have added people to my ignore list to hide posts that pop my bubble I don't want to trouble the team over the comments I don't like.

Thank you for your advice. I appreciate it!
