I really like the fact, personally, that HN is a place I can come and escape politics. I purposely do not read the mainstream news and havn't for years.

Agreed. There are plenty of forums where politics can be discussed. I like that I can come to HN when I want to avoid all of that.

(I'm drawing a line between tech-centered / tech-related "politics" to be different than "general politics". Political issues that directly affect / relate to the tech industry are ("may be") relevant here.)

100℅ this. There are literally millions of news sites where you can go talk about politics all day. I really like the fact that HN stays out of it.
