Honestly, I don't give a shlt what is done about this "problem," but I will say that I joined this site precisely because of how few hacks were here and how reasonable both political partisans were toward each other. This site stood apart as a place for politically knowledgeable people to meet up and dig a bit deeper, and there was relatively little arguing about actual issues; it was more of a knowledge base rather than a debate forum. Go back and look at posts from 2012 and especially before, and people like Krazen or StatesRights and the like are the EXCEPTION, not the norm - and because of this they actually provided a bit of comedic relief, haha.
Having a million barely distinguishable posters literally arguing about something like "NV D+6 or NV D+3?!?!?!" is pretty lame, and it has dulled the political IQ of this site immensely. We pretty much have walking, typing Excel spreadsheets that input different data and argue about the end results with no nuance or interesting analysis ... this, along with the election of Trump, has pretty much made any actual elections-based subforum unreadable trash.
At least the community board is still fun
