This is one of many feeds of information for me, and I assume for most of us. Currently, all my other feeds are overly politicized. Yes, I have a political opinion and understand the need for discourse, but we are currently in a hyper-partisan political cycle and in which there is no winner. The gap is so wide, it is hard for one group to engage the other. So now all we get in these "political discussions" is hyper virtue signaling. I am talking about all sides.
This is not the time for discussion, because in our minds the battle lines are drawn.
I wish HN enforces a month of political moratorium. I will live and die on HN and will not make a single low info comment!

Yes, and discussion can make those battle lines disappear by finding common ground if possible and if not possible it will at least help assess how far the damage from all this bs can spread. Sticking your head in the ground is not going to make the problem go away, in fact might make it fractionally worse. On another note, in the US the choice has been made, but there are other places in the world where it is not too late and discussing this might throw up an argument or two that could be used to deflect disaster elsewhere. > I wish HN enforces a month of political moratorium. Because it's too much trouble to not click on links about subjects you wish were not discussed?
