there's an entire thread dedicated to this stuff
this isn't discussion; at this point it's a fistfight over political views

^he's right
politics moves way too quickly to have it all in one thread. people make separate threads for large events because discussion can go on for pages and pages about that one thing, meanwhile seven other things have popped up that people would want to talk about, and there's no way to jam all that into a single thread. smaller stuff like politicians saying stupid stuff are put in the megathread because they don't warrant much discussion
it's easy for stuff like a show or a fandom to have a megathread because those are very focused topics that tend to have only a small number of things to actively talk about at any given time
