Just posting my list of filter words on here in case anyone else wants to make their feed politics-free

Biden, District, EU, alt-right, democrat, democrats, desantis, elections, far right, far-right, federal, gop, Jan, maga, nomination, representatives, republican, republicans, senate, senator, trump

It's quite refreshing.

EU? That would be like banning USA.

I actually considered removing EU when I removed 'American' 'America' and 'Canadian', but I figured that 'EU' does usually refer to political news.

Depends. If you are talking to Asia or US just referring to yourself or a place as EU is the best option. Same goes for technical documentation. There is for example "EU machine directive" which would trigger the block list.
