I would have posted this to c/politics, because I found it weird it wasn’t already posted. But their rule #1 apparently only allows posting articles?
But IMO this speech is absolutely worth seeing if you have ANY interest in American politics.
The normal work around would be to find a news article that embedded the full speech but thanks for posting it here! I saw the Warnock speech but I missed catching AOC live.
I messaged one of the mods, asking why videos that are clearly relevant can’t be posted.
If I post a link to an article with the video, the video becomes secondary to the article.
The video represent what was actually said, not some interpretation of it.
Seems to me a weird rule, excluding relevant quality content.
So instead of working around the rule, I chose simply not to post there. As I suspect others have done too, despite the content is super relevant to the sub.
I think that’s a perfectly reasonable reaction. When the community rules add a barrier it’s quite fair to simply refuse to participate - I’m not a mod so I don’t know why that rule is there but I appreciate you posting it here regardless.

A PoliticalVideos community needs to be fostered. I think r/politics always had a similar rule.
