I think where the politics bleed into tech, we should allow the politics to bleed into discussions, staying on topic.

If the Tesla article commenters are talking about ICE, it's a problem.

But just posting political news to the front page sucks. And, thankfully, we have a working system for handling it.

HN has traditionally not let much politics through, and it's the better for it. Some does get through, and that's okay--it's not a moratorium. But I think we should endeavor to keep it pretty limited.
