I understand your question. My observations and experience on trying to comment on such posts have left a sour taste in my mouth.

Political posts on HN are a honeypot designed to lure in people with different views. The moment you post something that does not jive with the herd you get down voted.

It does not matter if you are making a valid point.

I like the idea of a site like this reaching a group consensus. But I also don’t like how dissenting views aren’t even considered. I wish I could come up with a solution.
