POB is presently experimenting with several proposals around intelligently censoring the stake of bad actors who operate in poor form by maliciously downvoting. In the case that you mention, there would be wiggle-room as bot postings are tantamount to spam. The clever part about it is that antisocial (not to be confused with antisocialist) people are the proverbial "few bad apples." That said, stake censorship would be as few and far between as muting bots from the community.

I'm all for the experiment. The second layer seems as decent a place as any to start creating better governance. There's only a handful of people on the chain who get their rocks off on downvoting maliciously. It's on a par with the number of antisocial people in general demographics. Of course, this is the internet, and maybe it attracts or creates a few more than expected.

Hey, maybe consider including some of your political memes in either deepdives or informationwar. It might not get the same as a long form post, but it might could get you more than what you're getting. Also that's where most of the eyes are at as it pertains to politically oriented content.
