Mmmmh. This is a tricky one. I think that politics is an interesting topic and it seems to me that an article that expresses political views can trigger a lively discussion with many comments which is good for Steemit and the community.

The other thing is; if someone decides to sell their votes through minnowbooster, doesn't that inheritably have the consequence that your vote goes to content you may not like or may disagree with. If this is an issue then maybe you shouldn't sell your vote.

But as I said; it's a tricky one. I think MB is taking some big steps in battling spam and making Steemit better and I applaude you for it.
