I think it might be cool if LessWrong had a well developed set of norms for discussing political topics, in particular, these norms were legible, and mods made a point to enforce them.
Politics posts should be tagged as such, and maybe all have a big warning at the top linking to a post outlining our expected norms and standards for discussing politics, and moderation thresholds. This is both a warning to those from other parts of the internet who don’t share our epistemic ideals, and a warning to LessWrongers who don’t want to wade into this stuff.
