My two cents worth on this is that, in my opinion, politics in any forum discussion certainly has a place as long as it's on topic. For example, if someone posts a topic titled "the sky is too blue and we don't get enough rain", people should talk about that specifically like, why is it too blue, what's the real effect, what can we do about it, etc. What kills a thread for me (and is prevalent on the "other site") is that someone comes in and says "it's [insert your most hated president's] fault because he's not my guy". That triggers a response to address the accusation and the discussion can easily devolve into political trolling which brings the whole "the sky is too blue" discussion to an end.
