Depends on the time of day, UK morning time before east coast USA wakes up there's always one or two political posts which get quite a bit of attention. However they quickly go from the front page after a few hours. I've noticed some San Francisco specific post appearing too at similar hours. These generally get more comments but as before usually go after some time. --- Personally, some political stuff is fine, interesting and worthy of comment. I do find myself replying and then deleting my comments on those threads after I realise the discussion is meaningless.
