This has always been the problem with HN's stance on "this isn't a forum for political debate" or whatever. It's a way of status-quo enforcement by selectively ignoring how political tech has become these days. It's also diminishing the role HN (used to?) play in conversations within the tech industry. If everyone should go to Reddit to discuss fundamental concerns with working in tech, then why wouldn't people just replace HN with an RSS feed.
