Here's what I do, for whatever it's worth -- (1) sit on my hands and don't respond to comments or threads that espouse political beliefs, and (2) click the report option and trust the mods to use their best judgement.
There are many topics that have taken on political overtones but it's still fairly straightforward to just stick to the subject. If no one rises to the bait, an inappropriate or off-topic comment becomes a non-issue.
