Thank you. It's also a pure politics story of the sort that used to be flagged off the site quickly, before HN got so big that any populist story would quickly overwhelm flags. I flagged it anyways.
Political stories have long been a part of HN. Sometimes they do get deleted, but many times not.
I'm personally happy that they're on HN. They make it harder for the tech community to bury their heads in the sand and remain in a self-imposed apolitical bubble.
Also, if you honestly don't think politics belongs on HN, why do you keep participating in political discussions here?
You mean the site has long been plagued with political submissions. The site guidelines say: "Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, [other stuff]". It's literally the first thing he thought to write for "off-topic".
I wish he'd have written it more clearly, so we didn't have to endure pointless discussions about what the word "most" means, because any definition that accepted this posting must degenerate to "all" politics.
