In my view it devalues what would otherwise be a very good site.
Personally I see politics as part and parcel of prepping, many of the issues we have to prep for are caused directly because of political action such as the mess the EU has made of Europe, or the mess the socialists have made of our NHS, welfare state and economy. If we dont identify and understand the causal factors we cannot best plan how to prep to survive the consequences. Just as if weathermen tell us theres no storm coming and one does come, just as cops telling us theres no gang crime only for us to fall victim to gang crime, just as agriculturalists promising a bountiful harvest and it fails, we must discuss, analise and learn from politics and its massive mistakes.
EG no future society if it understands the lessons of today would allow mass immigration into the UK, we would not create a compulsary welfare system, we would probably have kept the 3 teer education system etc etc.
And most importantly of all the arseholes and dickheads who created the mess we live in must be exposed and hopefully brought to account.
