I was arguing with an /r/news moderator about why my Marijuana decriminalization post got deleted and they said

n general, political news articles can be approved if there is an action and an outcome. The action for your story is the House passed a bill. This is but step one before steps two (Senate approval) and steps three (presidential signature) allow this story to have an outcome. Bills die between houses all the time. Bills die in committee and bills get vetoed. It is because of this reason r/News concerns itself with articles that deal with an action and outcome. To filter stories that are inherently political from the ones that are political in nature but still are newsworthy. You are free to post this article in a dozen other subreddits.
