It depends on what perspective you have on that. The subverse is for happy stories that anyone (on any political side) can get behind. People helping other people that type of thing.

Maybe including something like that in the sidebar would be a good idea. I think it clarifies things. People are so biased around here they seem to lack the ability to perceive that their political 'good' is someone else's political 'evil'. @kevdude

Here is what the sidebar says: A subgroup for articles that show the good in the world. There is a lot of bad out there - this is a place where people can come to see that kindness exists and that awesome things happen too.

Something like that the economy might be less regulated or more regulated etc does not really constitute what the sub is about. The sub is about super happy news. Someone donated their kidney to their best friend and saved their life. Someone helped an old person mow the lawn and paint their house, etc.

All of the articles there are along those lines. It's clear what the subverse is about. If I have to put very specific wording into the sidebar I will but it should be clear as it is just looking at what's been posted there for the past 2 years.
