Because politics is not allowed on HN. EDIT: So politics and off-topic content is allowed? I'm not sure if down voters have read the HN guidelines.

Because politics is not allowed on HN.
EDIT: So politics and off-topic content is allowed? I'm not sure if down voters have read the HN guidelines.
- detaro 6y agoThe HN guidelines do not say that "politics is not allowed" (indeed, HN tried a rule like that as an experiment a while back and it went quite badly), so it's a bit more complicated. (and other people already have made good arguments why the wording that's actually in the rules would apply here, long before your comment)
- colesantiago 6y agoregardless, politics incites flamewars on HN degrading the conversation, perhaps they should revisit this rule. it shouldn't be allowed
