Have you heard of the concepts of Internet bandwidth and compression? This article isn’t talking about poor quality microphones or cameras. You could have the best camera and microphone in the world, but it won’t do you any good on dial-up, low speed “broadband”, or unreliable connection to the Internet.

I think to a lot of people “political” means specifically picking sides between Republican/Democrat unfortunately, not talking about actual policy. That seems to be how they were using it here, considering they tried defending the claim by saying they’ve worked with Trump’s organization in the past.

I definitely agree though, people have every reason to get political (your version) these days, and it’s generally justified.
