While the link itself is not political, it seems to be inviting the people who want to turn HN into a place where they can say why their preferred candidate is the best, or more typically why the other candidate is just about the worst person in human history.

HN is better when politics are discussed elsewhere.

> Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. That tramples curiosity.

This was a discussion about historic presidents. It certainly interested me, as a person who is curious about American history of the late 70s and early 80s. If there were any politics in that discussion—I’m sure there were, it is hard to leave politics out of interpretations of history—they didn’t affect the thread in a way that made it less interesting.

Sorry; it's hard to socially engineer discourse that intensely, kommissar. :p
