Where do you guys go to find logical commentary on political articles now that HN is flagging everything political?

  Flagged for countering the left's narrative, not for political nature.

  Unfortunately there isn't really anywhere else where facts are not censored, shadow-banned, or shilled into oblivion. For instance, pre-election, I made an entirely 100% truthful meaningful comment on this site, a story about a Wikileaks email dump, I pasted several links directly to the Wikileaks DKIM verified emails for reference. I had a dozen or so up-votes, then stopped receiving replies. I posted on the other similar story which was very hot, and received no votes in either direction, nor any responses. Upon logging out, realized I had been shadow-banned. Ten or so posts appeared on inline on the stories, but every single thing I typed, would only show up if I was logged in. After searching everywhere for rules, or anyone anywhere mentioning that hn shadow-bans dissent, or shadow-bans anything for that matter; I emailed hn. I received a reply saying that I was indeed shadow-banned, however, it was in response to a comment I made 300 days prior. In summary I comment with facts and sources in a respectful passive manner in response to a fallacious top comment, get up-voted, and then shadow-banned 15 minutes later for that comment, and everything subsequent, but because of a comment I made 300 days prior. #FreeSpeech Edit: r/the_donald might be the place for you. Although, some aren't yet mentally equipped to make such a leap in just a single stride.

    Thanks... I don't think I'm ready for r/the_donald It doesn't take a very balanced approach to politics... much like hn sometimes.
