The guidelines says the following are off-topic:
"Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon."
So I'd say HN explicitly allows some political content as long as it is "interesting".

- foldr 6y agoYes indeed. That's the policy on stories, though. I think the policy on political discussion in comments (which often occurs in threads for "non-political" stories) has always been fairly unrestrictive.
