> Off-Topic: Most stories about politics

I'd welcome a firmer hand on eliminating these submissions.

The existing moderation works fine.

I bet if you looked through recent stories that made the front page, <1% would be classified as "about politics".

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.
