It's divided into "communities" kinda like subreddits. There are more and less political ones. They haven't even launched the feature that will let new moderators make their own communities yet. Early days.

The government is shut down and the economy is shit and the White House got knocked down and border patrol is torturing people in Chicago... why would people not talk about politics?

thank you, and yes I did find out the part about government shutdown on Reddit, I have no idea what Digg is like, but from what you are describing it seems like there is less political content there right now, this could be a gem.
