I value the well tended nature of this forum. Barring a specific comment from a candidate regarding the VC or entrepreneurial environment ("interesting in a way that transcends politics", as stated above), politics represents enough of a deviation from point that I would not care for it. As far as I've ever seen elsewhere, political discourse seems to dissolve into meritless echo chambers where user-moderation is permitted, or inane bickering where user-moderation is not permitted. Without some serious magic up your sleeve I don't know how this could be avoided.
