Can we do something about the rise in blatant partisan threads like these:
Conservative policies responsible for the 105 Child Prostitutes.
Secret tape reveals Republican strategy to sabotage Obama's remaining years.
"Conservative Policies are Driving Americans to Suicide…"
These are the top three I can think of off the top of my head. I've seen more from the right wing as well and they are starting to get irritating not to mention do nothing to further political discussion.

I'm not trying to single out the left here. I've stated several times that people on the right are guilty of doing this too. I'm saying that none of these discussions belong here. There is a stickied thread in the Political Madness forum that clearly states that partisan debates aren't allowed in that forum.
US Political Madness: This forum is dedicated to the discussion of the state of divisive politics in the US including political ideology, politicians, political figures, politics in the media, and speculation of conspiracy theories related to the divisive state. Participants should be aware that this forum is under close staff scrutiny. Because of the inherent distrust of government by conspiracy theorists, discussion topics and follow-up responses in this forum will likely tend to be highly critical of the current administration.

As people who claim to be concerned about conspiracy theories, we cannot and should not avoid politics.
While it might be reaching to say every conspiracy discussed on ATS has its roots in politics in one way or another, it's safe to say more than 98% do.
We (conspiracy-minded people) cannot research or discuss conspiracy theories effectively without a solid knowledge of the political influences involved. In fact, I'll go so far as to say that the conspiracists who shy away from politics will end up presenting incomplete theories, errant analysis, and short-sighted speculation.
The contemporary malevolent political war gridlocking the US (and spilling over into international politics) is one of the largest broadest-reaching conspiracies of our time. The war of ideologies is distracting an entire nation while some of the largest issues ever encountered are disregarded, and some of the most nefarious new policies slip in unnoticed. We are witnessing a bitter apex to a long war of political doctrines, and who better to help others understand the situation than us?
