Honest question - when I compare the comments here to other threads that have been presumably flagged for political reasons, the discussions don’t look all that dissimilar. There’s no technical discussion and everything devolves into political chatter. Why are other posts flagged but this one not?

Either not enough flags (it's an article about space, not politics), or dang manually removes flags (he commented recently that he does this). I think the former, the latter usually happens when th article itself is political.
