One of the things I appreciate about this community is that occasionally a well informed post with links to relevant information will crop up, even in political topics. Just don't read them. If they're nothing more than click-bait intending to insight a flame war, then they tend to get flagged anyways. About the only bad thing is when a link seems to get upvoted based on title alone (by people who clearly haven't read it), but that's not isolated to political topics and articles.
