>>1754718/v/ and /pol/ are legacy boards that should've been deleted years ago. They've lost their purpose and only exist as a home for shitposters. You can't even argue that they're containment boards because instead of containing bad content they infect other boards with tourists whose first exposure to 4chan was those boards.
Even if this board got split into 3 or 4 boards it wouldn't be the same. This place is too new and hasn't had any major political yabs to attract shitposters and tourists yet. Well...except the Coco/China stuff but that never blew up as much as it could've.
