Considering how much political discussion is actively going on right now on HN, I'd hardly describe it as "hiding".

Edit to add: You repeatedly bring up comments along the lines of "why was this flagged" or regarding the appropriateness of politics on HN. None of this should be news to you at all at this point. Why do you persist on bringing this up, when you've been around long enough to know the situation on HN and the community's well-established stance on these points?
