Maybe, but I don't think there's a good way to ensure it would work that way. So we have to seriously consider whether it's worth the risk. Given the general popularity of politics as a topic of discussion, I'm not sure it is.

You are free to discuss happy things in #chat currently.

All of the channels are laid out on the side and people can click through them to see what's going on in each in the span of seconds. I and many others carry out multiple channel conversations at once all the time on other boards without causing "splits" in the community. I'm genuinely confused as to where your concern is stemming from.
Yes, I'm free to derail whatever everyone else is talking about and interject something completely unrelated that may or may not just be ignored.
