Lol! Yeah, I don't think it's Google doing that. Or, this guy just doesn't understand how spam filters work.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
They may actually be doing it l. There was a leaked presentation from after trump won the first time that Google was going to stop being neutral and start being more active in pushing their beliefs.
What beliefs do they even hold beyond line must go up?
Line up must be steeper
Republicans: "Google keeps blocking our emails!" Google: "Yep. Stop sending spam!"
Lmao
If this is what they think will help I've got some baaaad news
When thousands of people report an email as spam to be filtered in future, the servers learn that the account sending it may be spam, thus proactively filtering it. Reporting spam is supposed to result in less spam in the future!
at some point they're going to accuse the Heart of the World of having partisan bias in order to justify shattering it into 1000 lums that will be strewn across the land as we are plunged further into an era of chaos and darkness
The Republicans are nothing if not whiny little piss babies.
They… are spam.
Lemme tell ya, it's not just Republican spam they're filtering... Every time I check my spam folder, it's absolutely overflowing with pestering emails from the DNC
Same. Somebody passing around emails!
They should let through all the Republican spam from now on. I’m sure people will find it endearing.
