IMHO, HN would be much better if any discussion with a hint or politics in them were not allowed, with the focus going back to purely technological discussion. The political climate right now is absolutely toxic right now, right now all it does is drive out any actual discussion of technology.
Avoiding or banning politics is itself a political position: in favor of status quo.
(If political discussions quickly become uncivil, that is a separate issue solved like with any other uncivil discussion.)
