It won't be deleted, but instead will be flagged so it won't front page. You can still find flagged content on https://news.ycombinator.com/active https://news.ycombinator.com/active, which seems like a reasonable compromise. This site shouldn't devolve into discussing every political event -- which usually means American political event because that country has descended into an idiocracy that seems to really like Reality TV-style governments full of imbeciles and plastic faced sociopaths -- but people can still have their release valve as necessary if they seek it out.
