Show me something better. I'm not saying it's as balanced as you _could_ get.
Again, it's about how you post it. I've posted at least a handful of libertarian or conservative ideas that have gotten upvoted. You just have to make your case carefully. Snark gets downvoted, for instance. Rightwing or libertarian snark gets downvoted more, granted. They police tone here, not so much ideas. I think it's a fruitful policy.
- buboard 7y agoi hear there are subreddits for rational political discourse. i dont remember their names, i use r/goldandblack for libertarian matters, (it is often frequented by leftists too). In fact i dont remember any substantial political debates in HN for years now, do you? > it's about how you post it I dont use snark but my posts are blunt. If i have to preface all my comments with social engineering fluff , i already know it's not the place to post it.
- orblivion 7y agoThat's true, when and if liberals make it to libertarian places, it tends to be a pretty fair discussion (of course I could be biased as a fellow libertarian). But, there aren't many liberals there, and I'd guess HN is left-of-center overall.
