It shouldn't be, but politics is a religion for many who lean left. One of the biggest liberal names just passed away, so it's here. My comment is way out of line, but so is this submission, but that's what happens when politics is introduced.
- biohacker42 17y agoIt shouldn't be, but politics is a religion for many who lean left Aw crap, you and I are now gong to start a political argument on HN. Well it's a Ted Kennedy story so here we go. A clear majority of hackers, including me, are libertarians, not liberals. And I guess (but actually mostly hope) most of the HN readership is libertarian. And I definitely don't think this belongs on HN. But I also very much doubt "liberals" are voting it up.
- TheElder 17y agoI'll end it. I hope you have a wonderful day my dear HN friend.
- biohacker42 17y agoThank you, and the same to you my friend.
- bct 17y agoSaying "politics is a religion for many who lean left" is deliberately inflammatory. You don't get to blame the topic of conversation for your own bad behaviour.
- _pius 17y agoIt shouldn't be, but politics is a religion for many who lean left. Complete and utter flamebait. Worse, it's tripe ... the comment doesn't even make sense.
