Hahaha, I remember that discussion. The mod originally wanted to ban all pics with a political subject at all, but then figured that people might be assholes and report rainbows and shit. Settled on "any politician from any country " as a compromise.
Sorry, this picture has to go, no matter how interesting it is as capturing an impactful moment in time.
Rule 2 of the community guidelines does state that all political pictures (defined as a picture of a politician of any country of any planet) are prohibited and will be removed. So they are not wrong, in spite of the down votes. I do wonder if the community were to have a similar poll today on whether these types of images should be banned how it would turn out, assuming the community has grown significantly since the months that have passed since the prior vote. The second choice was very close in the original poll which would have provided an exception of one political picture allowed per current event.
Edit: here’s the link to the community poll for context if it helps anyone else!
It’s the photo of a politician, which is against the rules that make this community pleasant for everyone else. You can find the guidelines of this community in the sidebar
This post goes against the community guidelines, please remove it

Womp womp, ig I’ll delete the post. Any suggestions for a different community to post it on? I don’t normally post to picture communities

You could literally just look at the rules but I’ll do you the favor of copy pasting it directly to you
Nice. Still don’t care.
Huh? Then why’d you ask?
I didn’t ask you anything, you must be confusing me with someone else.
Ok. Rephrase: why did you demand?
We can be nice about helping people who ask honest questions too :)
Many people are unfamiliar with the concept of different communities having different rulesets. Even people who come from reddit land.
