Political comments are not specifically prohibited in IMHO or MPSIMS the way they are in GQ. However, a deliberately provocative post in a thread that doesn’t have anything to do with politics directly can lead to a hijack and could even be seen as trolling. So they may be moderated even if other political comments might be allowed.
