Probably because we want somewhere that isn’t flooded with whatever detestable thing trump last did or said. I’ve been meaning to put out feelers about revising the rule to “No current/recent politics”, but I’ve never gotten around to it.
The text in the about page for rule six currently shows some alternatives for posting questions for US politics, if the rule was extended to current / recent politics, does anyone know good channels for questions about global politics?

Yeah, that’s completely reasonable. Is it worth updating the community about page for the rule to add a line or two about why the rule exists?
Maybe something like:
“”" The motivation here is to avoid the channel becoming a stream of questions about US politics and to provide a space to avoid US politics. “”"
It might save the mods time in the future if it comes up again.

That would make more sense imo. Even though American politics have a long reach it seems a bit strange to limit it to that
