I see the "tech not politics" argument on all these insta-flagged posts. I think that the site has evolved from that though. There may be plenty of spaces to talk about politics but I don't know of too many other spaces around the 'net with such a bar of intelligent, informed and articulate folks like this one. I think people gravitate here to see what others have to say that isn't just a name-calling cess pool of ignorance like most of the rest of the net
