As I like to explain my downvotes, I don't think your post contributes to Hacker News because: a) It belongs more in a political blog or something like Reddit.

As I like to explain my downvotes, I don't think your post contributes to Hacker News because: a) It belongs more in a political blog or something like Reddit. It isn't particularly intellectually insightful or thought-provoking. b) You're assuming that everyone on HN agrees with your stance (the other half must be brainwashed and ignorant, right?) c) It's unnecessarily vitriolic.
