The rule should be ammended: Off-topic: partisan politics Almost everything is political. For example, the very existence of large tech monopolies is political. What they do or don't do is political. There are plenty of things related to this we can talk about that are political, but the real problem is being partisan about it. edit: If you want to up/down vote in a non-partisan way, up vote comments as to whether they are interesting or likely to lead to interesting discussion rather than just because you agree with them. Reserve downvotes for comments that are uninteresting, diversionary, partisan, etc. I often post articles that I personally disagree with, but which are interesting and I am interested in what the HN community might have to say about them.
