Only to people that want to complain about their politics. The number of people who want to discuss political science is small.

I think you’re getting downvoted because there are plenty of us interested in political science here. Recently I’ve seen discussions of why we need civilian oversight of military, invoking Clausewitz, exploring why large transportation projects cost twice as much in the US as in peer nations, and how local zoning causes our infrastructure problems.

I imagine the problem is no one could possibly agree on what politics is so you will have endless bikeshedding over if something classifies as politics.

Does a post on climate change count?

Does a post on city design and public transport count?

I think you're right. I didn't mean to downplay the interests of people here wanting to have civil discussions about politics. I've too seen very civilized discussions here involving politics recently. I've also noticed an uptik in political posts. Most of the ones that have 1000+ comments have the most number of downvoted comments I've seen here on HN. Most of those comments don't seem to have a genuine curiosity about political science.
