I get why they delete the threads - but it doesn't really matter - no one changes their minds - we all preach to our respective choir.
I have been on some television show discussions and they all turn political real fast. Doctor Who did an episode about Rosa Parks (you kn ow a real person from history and not "fake News" so the right wingers start ranting that is SJW - well yes sometimes you need to fight for social justice - and the show is about a time traveling alien saving the planet from monsters - racists are monsters. The Dalek represents the Nazis.
So on a forum about film and TV - I am not sure how anyone can not discuss politics. Politics is heavily IN the film, television, and the music industry. So if you really want to discuss film - most of them have some political bent. Music certainly does - and this forum, for the most part is in service and is related to music.So long as people aren't swearing at each other I don't see a real problem - especially on an American based forum which supposedly holds the first amendment as -- well -- first.
But the US is no longer in the top 20 most democratic countries in the world and since 2016 (I wonder why) has been reduced from Full Democracy to Flawed Democracy.
It's depressing. I need to put on some country music to cheer me up.
