Ultimately the moderators have decided that these kind of posts are "not what the site is for". It's unlikely they'll implement some kind of filter as users can filter out what the moderators have decreed what they want the site to be.

That's what Tildes does. They even do subtags. Like this year politics.us was added for those who wanted to opt out of this in their feed

But yes, I simply don't expect this place to be responsive to 90% of politics at this point. I can see how Silicon Valley leans very conservative in cases like this and how it swaya the tech industry as a whole.
