So many stories are political regardless but it really gets worse during election cycles when nearly every story is nothing more than a policy announcement or trial balloon being floated by one candidate or another. Usually its found after a few paragraphs and suddenly candidate X's name appears.
What I would love to see is a "flag political" option so if more than a few people flag it it gets a label.
on a side note, would love to see an option to suppress my karma numbers
