This is a bizarre non-sequitor "what aboutism" that I feel is stolen from some pundit ----- Edit: Same thing with the "But what is politics??" comment duplicat

  I don't get why you think this is anything other than a very obvious and genuine question that hasn't been answered. Someone said "ban political ads", and I don't know what that means. Does it mean banning any ad that references a politician or political party? Any ad that references an explicitly political issue? Any controversial issue that's currently a hot political topic? I want to know what people's views are on this, which is why I asked.

  This isn't whataboutism; it's not trying to deflect from the original. It's a very valid claim. When science (or insert topic X here) is politicized and political ads are banned, then are stories about science (insert topic X here) also banned? It's impossible to define what is a political ad that satisfies, say, 75% of the populace.
