It's a tricky one. I for one discover most of the political issues relating to "hacker stuff" here on HN. I'd be worse off if it went away since I don't have time to spend on other sites. But I agree, purely political stuff that has no relation to "hacker stuff" should probably be kept elsewhere. But then, we're hackers. We're meant to be the people who find practical solutions to complicated problems, and I think that political issues do present the kind of problems that hackers would like to take on. I don't know. Like I say, it's a tricky one.
