Wait - you don't hear 'republicans are the problem', 'Trump is the problem', et al all the time?

I'd have to ask what forums you are reading, because I would like to hang out there.

On HN, I mostly see it in replies. Then again, I don't click on all comment sections; maybe I naturally have been avoiding the articles that elicit those comments.

Generally, I expect comment sections that immediately devolve into political discussions to be flagged.
