It's flagged why? There's an identically titled one for Trump from 2016.

  Politics is usually against the HN guidelines. Also there's a new thread from the NY Times that has more votes and isn't flagged https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25016070 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25016070

    Absurd. There is an identically titled article from election night 2016, for Trump. HN has consistently carried water for Trump by allowing a small number of HNers to flag Trump critical articles, for four years. Donald Trump is the president-elect of the U.S. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12907201 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12907201

      I won't deny that HN as a whole has a conservative tilt (edit: at least in who's willing to flag and downvote), but I've always found dang's rulings on stuff fair and reasonable. We'll probably get a thread at some point with a stickied reminder to chill out. edit: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25015967 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25015967 You're on the right one!

        Flag abuse and the lack of transparency about it by moderators is one of the worst features of HN.

        I seriously doubt HN has a "conservative tilt". People on this site generally try to call the good for the good and the bad for the bad, regardless of party.

      Well, that was after Hillary had conceded.

    The NYTimes one has also been flagged now, and just about every comment in that thread has been downvoted heavily. My guess is it's a small group of users flagging everything about the election results.

  > There's an identically titled one for Trump from 2016. It would probably be flagged today, too; the tolerance for mainstream political content has dropped since 2016.
