I asked Paul Graham on Twitter if YC would discriminate against Trump supporters, and while his answer was fine [1], I never did get a response from Sam Altman about the same issue. I also never got a decent response from an anonymous thread I posted here [2]. Sam Altman's statement of support for Hillary [3] was fine, of course he is entitled to his opinion, but it was incumbent upon Altman to make a statement that neither he nor the YC application review team would discriminate on the basis of political affiliation. He didn't, and one has to wonder, given this new situation, whether there really is systemic bias at YC.
