While one facet of politics is about control/power, another major facet of politics is just about public service and people wanting the same outcome, but disagreeing how to get there. With communication, both sides of an issue can find a solution that they both agree on to reach the same outcome.
Political problems are generally solved by organizing, evaluating, and disseminating information. All of which are technical problems. In fact that's how all problems are solved, and every problem can be political under the right circumstance.
