Implicit Downranking of Politics
The Guidelines state that political discussion is off-topic. However, as of recently, the line between technology and politics has become extremely blurred. Most tech related submissions with a hint of political partisanship will quickly be flagged to death by users (or die a slow death due to the inevitable flame war).

- dang 9y agoThe guidelines don't state that, as you can see by reading the second paragraph of https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and, to quote pg from long ago, noting those words 'most' and 'probably'.
