Do politics questions/answers generally meet the question/answer format?

no. most questions are rhetorical or statements, making the "answers" simply responses.

A lot of the time, questions and answers in the "politics" section, do not meet with the community guidelines. I have even seen death threats on this site, which I will admit, I reported. For some reason, some people seem to think that being hateful and disrespectful is the way to win hearts and minds to their side. Sometimes, it is best to agree to disagree and leave it at that.

Some questioners with multiple violation notices have figured out how to get around the "rant" accusation by putting it in the form of a question, i.e. "Why does this politician believe this?" then adding the rant. Or "Why is Obama a Kenyan Marxist Socialist Fascist?"

Most of them do follow the Q&A format, or at least pretend to--I've only seen a few statements ended by a ? on there. Also, most of those rules get ignored all the time.

A much better description would be a sand box where attention starved children come to play

No, almost never. Most of the "questions and answers" are nothing more than partisan rants and fear mongering lies.
