Politics is intertwined with everything. Not sure why you're trying to draw a line here.

Start ups are extremely "people" based entities. If you think the ACLU doesn't fit in with the YCombinator landscape -- given recent events -- then I'm not sure what I can really say to paint a more vivid picture to make you understand.

My point is not that startups are not "people" based entities, but simply that this is a clear aversion from the norm on the part of YC and that ACLU is as much a political organization, if not more, than a technological one.
