As I keep saying, "politics" is a subjective description. When people see something as personally relevant/interesting to them or affecting them or people like them, then it's fair game for HN. When people see something as personally not relevant to them or not affecting them or people like them, it's "politics". Which tells you some things about HN: the only way you get widespread agreement on what's "politics" and what isn't is by having a monoculture.
