I think this is an understandable position, but it seems to me that most active users are looking at the daily posts, and the front page isn’t particularly priveleged. I don’t think there are any firm norms about politics at the moment either, only the aggregate of peoples’ opinions.
Well, if you’re downvoting all political posts, maybe I should upvote all non-frontpage political posts to counter this? All I’m saying is that a discussion on meta seems to be a better way of handling this than a upvote/downvote war.

Posts on the frontpage get about a factor of ~2x more views (eyeballing from our internal view numbers), and posts in curated get about 5x more views.
Is that controlled for the number of upvotes?
Neat, thanks!
