I am new to Hackernews, is this site mainly for technology or is politics also allowed?

  Maybe you should ask that to the person I was replying to, who literally just implied that around half US the population are blinded by hatred just because they have different political views to him.

    Math is hard. Half is literally 50%. Trump only has 1/5th of the population's vote last time, and this time? We'll see... The figures seem to show that 65% of the pop hates the man, so you might need to revisit statistics before you die on this battleground.

  Politics is generally considered off-topic unless it's "evidence of some interesting new phenomenon"[0] [0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

  Mostly about startups really, with a big lean on technology. On occasion, there are political discussions but they tend to be heavily monitored to stop them becoming too bad.
