If that's truly a primary goal of this site, I have no clue why ANY politics stories are allowed here. Seriously.
I'm barely holding on here as a user. As far as I can see, you allow politics stories because they generate the MOST discussion, because they get people arguing at all each other. "Intelligent" is a far secondary goal, and we seem to pick up the same dynamics as the Green site -- the libertarian faction, the faction that wants to yell about "SJWs" at any opportunity, the left and right extremists, etc.
Perhaps this is the only way a site like this can survive, since there's relatively small discussion on most serious science stories, etc. So, okay, we have politics articles. But let's not pretend a primary reason is to create "intelligent" discussion. (And if it is, it's mostly an abject failure.)
(Note also that my complaints are directed at ALL sides. I took a break from the site last week for a while after I got incensed that a left-wing comment responding to a right-wing troll poster got modded up significantly... Except in this particular case, the right-wing troll actually posted a factually accurate informative post, while the liberal response was cherry picking bullshit data. I more frequently agree with the "left" because reality is usually more in tune with leftist claims, but I can't stand to see either side posting utter bullshit and getting modded up here. In this case, there were links from both posters too... Clearly no moderators followed them though...)

I agree entirely, but the community argued for their inclusion during the last US election, We don't cover elections elsewhere but the US election was deemed to be 'special' for some reason that completely escapes me. We do try to limit them (the last one was about a week ago despite receiving more and more biased politics submissions with each passing day). They still have to meet our guidelines and rules to be selected.
