How about trying to encourage better political discussions rather than banning the whole topic?

We are in a very tense political landscape. Obviously people on HN need to talk it out. At least let's encourage healthy and proper conversations.

Maybe even have a specific "political discussion guidelines". The using downvotes to remove noise/unhealthy conversations we can have some proper arguments.

You can have political discussions on HN, you just have to follow the guidelines. All of the bans are just people not following the guidelines.

Notice as well they're called guidelines and not "rules". To me, the word choice was intended.
