Okay, I know hating on Republicans is fun, but is that really necessary? Why sow the seeds of discord?

This is precisely why I loathe the political articles so much.

For instance, if I'm not mistaken, patio11, who is a great contributor here, has declared his Republicanness (sorry if that's not accurate), something I'm more or less opposed to in its current form in the US. I might find it fun to chat with him about that in person, but I do not want to get into political discussions with him here. First of all, because he has way more valuable ways to contribute his time in terms of discussing his startup, tech or whatever, and because... why introduce discord about a subject that's off-topic here.

I guess this article is closer to on-topic in that it certainly is pertinent to new startups in the US... but look where it got us already.

Moreover, this discussion is not helpful nor germane to the topic at hand.
