I sent the mods a message of "great job /s" and included the link.

They wrote back "cheers". Stiff upper lip.

Well, it is.

Just an FYI ....Data has no agenda.

and their excuse won't hold up post-election when the data is still relevant.

Four days out from a highly contested presidential election?

I'd of removed the post as well.

One could say that such data represents science because it includes humans and their traits/tendencies. Are you going to post that to /r/science or any subs that fall beneath it (knowing that they have standards)?

No, you're not. You have no shortage of places for that post. The ideal sub for that content, at this point in time, is /r/POLITIC

You know damn well if it had been an anti-Trump or pro-Hillary post it would have been allowed. Let's stop kidding ourselves here.

AFAIK, the mods of R/DIB have standards, I don't know of any other situation of them playing politics games. You may be right you may be wrong, but there's no prior precedence of you being right, other than this being the Internet.

I disagree

You are in a denial, not that you disagree

Timing is irrelevant. I would have no trouble posting this to /r/science since Social Science is one of the major academic disciples, but i'm sure you already know that. The post is actual much more relevant to Data Science and computer programmers/analysts, but there is of course an overlap because you have to interpret the data after-all.

Also a little advice, don't tell people where to post things, you don't run this site.
