Pol/

/pol/ is a board on 4chan for political discussion, created on November 10, 2011. Originally, /pol/ started as a spin-off of /new/ 8 months after it was deleted, this deletion was due to the fact that a large portion of the users on /new/ were "far-right" or "nazis" which caused the moderators of 4chan to delete the board entirely before creating /pol/.
The current state of /pol/
It's widely agreed upon that /pol/ is currently a politically themed random board due to extremely low quality content and spam posted regularly (this includes: bait/shill posts, NSFW content, sperging and schizoposting). The large drop in quality can be attributed to the fact of /pol/'s massive rise in popularity during and after the election of Donald Trump when /pol/ was frequently mentioned in the mainstream media, this caused a massive influx of newfags who weren't adapted to the culture, with various conflicting political opinions to flood the board.
