HN has a complicated relationship with submissions related to politics. There's been plenty of discussion related to what's appropriate and what's not.

Here's a link to some comments by mods on the topic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13527940 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13527940 When you've been on HN after a while you'll get a feel for what's appropriate and what's not, and when you've accumulated enough karma, you'll be able to flag submissions you think are inappropriate.
