HN is a forum about technology and the startup world, let's keep it about that.
- dang 9y agoNot quite. HN is a forum about anything that gratifies intellectual curiosity: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. The reason most political stories aren't a good fit here isn't that they aren't about tech or startups (both tech and startups overlap with politics quite a bit). It's because they inevitably lead to battles that destroy what HN is for. We can't be both, the same way a park can't be a war zone.
