But for everyone bathed in the constant nuclear radiation of "{name}'s policy!!", it's going to remind people of the last time they saw a partisan clickbait mass media headline.

I pretty much exclusively use HN as a refuge from that style of conversation. I'm sorry that so many people's brains are poisoned by political news or whatever, but I'm not really going to change what I find is a useful way of referring to things just to accommodate them. FWIW I am certainly going to vote for Biden, for all the good that it will do in California.
