If politics were less important (more or less == "if government were smaller and less intrusive") it would be less interesting and submissions about it would crater.
It's the same reason why SCOTUS nominations are so contentious now. Previously the Supremes had both less power relative to the other two branches and far, far less power to actually impact the lives of regular folks.
- icey 17y agoThe problem is that political submissions are by nature very contentious. Just because they get upvotes doesn't mean they belong here. Half the population will agree, and the other half can't downvote. I don't think may people flag them because of all of the other political submissions that have ended up on the front page lately.
