Perhaps flag comments. But I think that it is essential to have political stories be visible today, so that we can try to understand why the election results are what they are.
I posted this particular story because I have seen what it criticizes on HN more than anywhere else. Perhaps the article is wrong, but I thought an external opinion would be useful.
Perhaps HN is not the place for political discussion. But it has been in the past, and will be in the future, so I think that this article is excellent to contemplate.
- ersii 10y agoI would say that this was the perfect piece to be published on that exact day. I do fear that the tone of the article is too smug, even for "smug liberals" and that it might have been passed by plenty of people - especially the usual Vox readers. I don't think it makes the article justice by trying to simply place it as "right" or "wrong". I'd be content to just point out that I think it covers a lot of history, divides and for lack of a better word, emotions or perspectives. I'm not liberal, but I too constantly need to fight the need to be smug towards others and their choices. Thank you for posting it. It was a worth the time to read.
